I posted about this on my site recently. Another thing we did in our crawl space is to purchase pipe insulation (it's round foam formed to fit around pipes).

It may also be useful in colder basements as well. I also recommend, if you have a crawl space, to insulate your crawl space. I posted about this on my site recently.
