DIY Home renovations| Koala Insulation of Northwest PA

As a homeowner, you will encounter many different home projects over the years. While some of these projects are centered around design or are just for fun, some additions and renovations can add value to your home while saving you money in the long run!

If you are hoping to tackle a few renovation projects this winter, check out our latest blog all about saving money while keeping your home safe and comfortable below.

Low-Cost DIY Projects

Every house can benefit from some simple preparation steps before the cold weather sets in! The harsh temperatures can be hard on our homes, so easy projects like weather stripping can go a long way to keeping your heat inside. These simple kits are sold at most home improvement stores and can be installed in a few minutes.

Another great way to save money without sacrificing warmth is to program your thermostat to adjust depending on your schedule. Most smart or digital thermostats allow you to program them to change the temperature in your home throughout the day.

Program it to lower while you are away from your home and while you are sleeping! This is an easy way to “set it and forget it” and enjoy the cost savings on your next energy bill.

Staying Inside

Winter is a great time to tackle any home improvement projects or renovations that you have been hoping to do inside your home. We are certainly spending more time indoors at this point in the year, so now is the perfect time to tackle that to-do list.

Focus on projects that will add value to your home without costing too much money! Start with something simple like adding a new backsplash or give your walls a fresh coat of paint.

It's amazing what some simple updates can do. These simple projects can also help set the stage for a larger remodel later in the year as well.

Insulate Your Attic

Now that the weather is colder and the temperatures are consistently low, chances are that you have cranked on your furnace or are using your fireplace more frequently. Because of that, there is more warm air circulating throughout your home.

As heat rises, if your attic isn’t properly insulated, all of that warm air will escape through your attic too quickly.

Adding some insulation to your attic is a great way to ensure that the heat you are using actually stays in your home. It can also help control the humidity levels in your attic and prevent moisture problems.

Of course, the best choice is to leave the installation to us! We can provide you with a thorough attic insulation installation to keep your home warm all winter long.
