A funding offer to insulate your home

“My client’s keep on tell me that, by upgrading or installing new insulation in their home, it makes a difference to their energy bills and the home comfort and health of their families”. Richard

EECA's Warm Up New Zealand: Healthy Homes programme offers grants for insulation retrofits to make homes warmer, drier and healthier.

Insulation grants for home owners and landlords

Grants of 50% of the cost of insulation are now available for low-income home owners and landlords with low-income tenants.

These Warm Up New Zealand: Healthy Homes grants are limited and will finish by the end of June 2018.

You may qualify for a grant if:

• the house was built before the year 2000, and
• you own the home and have a Community Services Card, or
• your named tenant has a Community Services Card.

Grants are also available for low-income households and tenants with high health needs if:

• your income is just above Community Services Card level and you have high health needs related to cold, damp housing, or
• you are referred by the Ministry of Health's Healthy Homes programme.
• Properties owned by a Government agency do not qualify for the programme.

Be aware that funding is limited, and projects may not cover all regions, or all areas within a region.
