Insulating the heater with a water heater wrap sold a Homecenters. Cover the waterlines with foam pipe insulation. Insulating the closet would also help. Make sure you leave grills, louvers open for combustion air. Air will only be pulled into the closet when the heater is on. You don't want to starve the flames or have flue gases backup into the closet.
