DIY Ways to Make Your Home Warmer

If you need to increase the temperature of your home indoors, read these DIY tips to make your home much warmer!

If you are looking to make your home warmer when winter arrives, there are several steps that you can take throughout the spring and summer that can allow you to warm up your home – without worrying too much about cost or getting professionals in. Here are some of the top DIY ways that you can make your home warmer in 2023.

Install a New Radiator 

If you want to make your home warmer this winter, the first step that you should think about is installing a new radiator. Whether your radiators are simply not doing their job anymore or whether you believe that you need an extra one within your home, a new radiator can ensure that the current coldest rooms of your home can become toasty before long and that you can prevent issues such as damp and mold within your rooms. To find a radiator that will suit your home, such as a horizontal column radiator, you should consider heading to warmrooms.co.uk. You can then install this radiator and attach it to one of your room’s walls yourself. They will be able to help your home to retain a comfortable temperature even in the coldest months of the year.

Insulate Your Attic

Another way that you can make your home warmer is to insulate your attic. Your attic is the room in your house that your home is likely to lose the most heat, especially if you have not replaced the insulation for several years. Therefore, to ensure that the amount of heat that you are pouring into your home is not going to waste and that it stays within your home, you should spend a day or two replacing the insulation in your attic with insulation such as fiberglass and mineral wool. Remember to use proper safety equipment like long sleeves and gloves.

Lay Down Carpet

If you want to make your home warmer without hiring a professional, you should also consider replacing your wooden flooring or tiles with carpeting. This is because it can retain heat well. You might notice this when you step on wood or tile flooring; while your feet will instantly feel cold when you step on them, stepping on carpeting is a much nicer sensation. If you cannot afford to switch out your flooring, a rug can often help to keep heat within your rooms in the absence of an entire floor of carpeting.

Bleed Your Radiators

You should also consider bleeding each of your radiators. If any air is trapped in your radiator, it can become blocked, and you may find that no heat comes out of them. By bleeding them once a year, you will be able to ensure that they work to their maximum potential and that you are not wasting money by pouring energy into your radiator that is not then released into your rooms. Luckily, you do not have to be a DIY expert to bleed your radiators, and many tutorials can help you do this online.
