Make sure you have performed an energy audit and checked the home for drafts. Usually there is a simple fix such as caulking or adding more insulation that can help dramatically. You may want to consider having a blower door test as well to find out just how air-tight your home is. Potential homeowners can be turned off by a cold house so this is a sure fix. However, do not turn the heat up so high it is uncomfortable either. If they leave their coats on during the tour, the heat that is comfortable in a single layer will not be for them. Offer to hang their coats up for them while they enjoy their tour! When giving house tours or trying to sell your home in cold weather it is very important to provide a warm atmosphere.
