Owning a home can be a great sense of pride for many people - developing property to suit your personal preferences and being able to return daily to your own little sanctuary is something several Australians strive for.
It can also be challenging to manage mortgage payments and monthly bills - buying real estate is the largest financial commitment many of you will make in your lifetime.
However, there are ways to get the best of both worlds - renovating inefficient energy features of your home can be a DIY project you can carry out yourself that can help to save you money.
Adding insulation to your home is a manageable project that can keep heating and cooling inside your property - meaning it will cost less to control the temperature.
Replacing windows can also go a long way toward keeping energy inside - glazed glass is a great choice for new windows.
Replacing plumbing fixtures like toilets, sinks and showers can be a little more costly due to the specialised nature of the job, but will cut down on monthly water charges and contribute to the conservation of Australia's precious resources.
