Insulating The Attic
Choosing the right attic insulation depends on your needs and budget. Some types of insulation are easy to install while others require professional assistance. Batt insulation and loose fill insulation are two common choices for attics. These materials are relatively easy to handle, but you need to use the proper protective gear and stay away from any potential fire hazards.
Replacing Floors
Replacing your floors is a great way to update your home and increase resale value. Changing floors during the winter is also more affordable and easier than during the summer because the flooring shrinks in the cold. You can choose hardwood or a low maintenance, waterproof carpet.
Replacing Windows
Replacing your windows for the winter is a great way to improve the efficiency of your home’s heating system. This will also save you money on your heating bill. The majority of air leakage in a home happens through the windows, so upgrading to newer, more energy-efficient windows is an excellent way to save money on your heating bill.
Light Fixtures
Changing your light fixtures can refresh your home’s interiors and improve its functionality and style. It doesn’t require any major investments and can create a huge impact on the appearance of your home. One way to make your home look more cheery is to replace incandescent bulbs with energy-efficient LED bulbs.
