Insulation grants for low income families - apply now
10 July 2019
The Government’s
Warmer Kiwi Homes Programme is offering grants for
insulation and heaters to low income owner occupied
homes.
The grants cover twothirds of the cost of installing insulation. Grants for approved heaters (efficient heat pumps, wood burners and pellet burners) are capped at a maximum of $2500.
To be eligible for a grant:
• You must be the homeowner and live in the
home
• Your home has to have been built before
2008
• You must have a Community Services Card or
SuperGold combo card, or
• Your home must be in an area
that’s been identified as low-income
• You can’t
have an existing operational efficient heating appliance in
the main living area
To be eligible for a grant for a heater, the home must have an existing ceiling or underfloor insulation that is up to EECA standards. You may also be eligible if a service provider contracted to EECA has assessed the home and found they can’t install insulation.
