Welcome to our home improvement video where we tackle some basic yet essential upgrades to make our property safer and more energy-efficient. In this video, we discuss the wonders of thermal insulation and the incredible sound deadening properties of natural rock-wool. By packing our ceiling cavities with this magical material, we not only experienced a noticeable reduction in noise but also were able to retain heat up to 10 degrees Celsius each night. Imagine how much money we save on heating bills by not having to keep the heat on for longer periods! Plus, with only 4 weeks less of heating needed per year, it’s a win-win for both our wallets and the environment.
Ultimate Home Improvements: Insulation, Rewiring, and Sound Deadening
One aspect that had us initially worried was the cost of re-wiring. Luckily, we were able to save a substantial amount by taking matters into our own hands. Being a qualified sparky certainly came in handy as we tackled the first fix ourselves, avoiding those hefty quotes that we received from professionals. Not only will our self-done re-wiring be a vast improvement over the original 1940’s wiring, but it will also contribute to a safer home environment.
Enhancing Your Space: Electrical Outlets, Heater Outlet, Lighting Feed
When it comes to electrical upgrades, we spared no effort. With up to 12 electrical outlets per room, including a heater outlet, lighting feed, and data outlet, we ensured convenience and functionality throughout our living space. No more scrambling for available outlets or dealing with inconveniently placed electrical points.
Snow-Proofing Your Home: The Importance of Double Glazing
Living at the top of a 610 meter high hill has its perks, but it also means facing harsh weather conditions, including snow. That’s why we quickly learned the importance of double glazing, which not only enhances insulation but also adds an extra layer of safety. Surprisingly, the cost of double glazing wasn’t as expensive as we initially thought, and the investment will undoubtedly pay for itself within a couple of years.
Lastly, re-wiring our electrical system has made our lives so much easier and safer. With modern wiring and improved circuits, we can rest assured that our home is up to code and meets all electrical safety standards. No more dealing with outdated and potentially hazardous wiring.
