What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you think about the freezing cold winter months? If you’re like most people, your mind has already conjured visuals of curling up in a cozy bed with a cup of hot chocolate and your favorite novel. Or you might be picturing yourself sitting in front of the fireplace enveloped in a fuzzy blanket.

In either case, your idea of sheltering yourself from the piercing winds and ice-cold temperatures is to retreat into your home. Let’s face it – staying indoors during winter is one of the best feelings in the world.

4 Home Improvement Projects You Need to Complete Before Winter

But things can quickly spiral in the wrong direction if you don’t prepare your living space for winter. Between chilly drafts, declining daylight, power outages, and blocked air vents your home could cause extreme discomfort during the winter months.

But that doesn’t always have to be the case. A few home improvements done at the right time can go a long way to winterproof your home. Simple additions, such as reinforcing the insulation or installing a generator, will keep your living space cozy and warm.

In this blog, we’ve handpicked a few home improvement ideas that’ll pay high dividends during winter. Let’s take a look.

1. Generator Installation

Who enjoys shivering in the cold because of a power outage at home? Absolutely no one. Unfortunately, electricity outages are more common than you’d like to believe, particularly during winter.

Adverse weather conditions, including heavy snowfall and blizzards, can take a toll on electricity grids, thus restricting the power supply to your home.

Now, you don’t need someone to tell you about the importance of an uninterrupted power supply to your home, particularly during winter.

To begin with, you need electricity to power the heating system to keep your living space warm. Also, considering the shorter winter days, you’ll need electricity to light up your home.

That’s why the installation of a generator should be one of the top pre-winter home improvement projects you undertake.

Make sure you select a generator that’ll meet the electricity needs of your home. Also, it’s a good idea to consult a professional technician regarding generation installation costs.

Installation of a generator is a complex process that could create various safety hazards. Make sure you hire an experienced electrician for this purpose.

If your home already has a standby generator, get it checked and repaired by an electrician before the onset of winter.

2. Lighting Revamp

Shorter days during the winter months translate to more time spent indoors with all the lights on. The lighting scheme and fixtures in your living space go a long way to improve your mood during dull and grey winter days. Also, inefficient lighting can send your energy bills shooting through the roof.

That’s why it is a good idea to replace existing fluorescent lights and incandescent bulbs with energy-efficient LED bulbs. Apart from minimizing energy consumption, LED light bulbs also brighten up your living space and are long-lasting.

Even if you aren’t up for overhauling the entire lighting system, it’s a clever idea to change the lights in the most-used spaces of your home. While you’re at it, don’t forget to check for loose lighting fixtures as well.

3. Heating System Maintenance

A heating system is integral to every home during winter. You don’t want to deal with blocked chimneys and malfunctioning filters as the mercury levels plunge.

Instead, it’s wiser to schedule routine maintenance and repair of the heating system before ice-cold winds reach your doorstep.

Start by finding a professional who can clean the chimney and filters. Make sure they remove any traces of dust, soot, and debris.

Keep an eye out for twigs and tree branches that might have made their way into the chimney while it wasn’t in use. Also, check whether the thermostat is functioning properly.

4. Backyard Clean-up

Fall foliage looks spectacular in photographs. But dried leaves and tree branches can wreak havoc on your home’s exterior.

They could choke drain pipes, as well as spoil the look of your landscaped backyard. The best way of avoiding such scenarios is to give your backyard a good clean-up before the winter months arrive.

Once you’re done, make sure you clean your lawn equipment, remove the batteries/fuel, and securely store them away from the cold and moisture.

Brave the Winter Chill with Clever Home Improvement Ideas

Getting your home winter-ready isn’t rocket science. You just have to get started with your pre-winter home improvement projects on time.

From installation of a generator and LED bulbs to a thorough clean-up of the backyard -you can do various simple things to prepare your living space for the nip in the air.
