We can cover 50–90% of the total cost of installing ceiling and underfloor insulation in your home. As a Charitable Trust, we may also be able to provide additional support, bringing this contribution up to 100% for those most in need.
For heating, the Warmer Kiwi Homes Programme can fund up to 90% of the cost of an approved Heat pump for your main living area. Heater grants are capped at $3,000 (plus GST).
To qualify for an insulation grant, you must meet the following conditions:
You own and live in a home that was built before 2008.
You (the homeowner) hold a Community Services Card or your home is located in a qualifying area within deprivation levels 5–10 (we can confirm this for you).
Your home does not currently have ceiling and underfloor insulation. (If you received an insulation grant for a previous property, you are still eligible to apply for your current home.)
To qualify for a heating grant, the following conditions must be met:
You own and live in a home that was built before 2008.
You (the homeowner) hold a Community Services Card or live in a qualifying area within deprivation levels 9–10 (we can check this for you).
Your home has ceiling and underfloor insulation installed to EECA standards (we can confirm if your home meets these requirements).
Your home does NOT have an operational fixed heater in any living area (including kitchen, dining room, or open plan kitchen/dining area), such as:
A heat pump
A wood or pellet burner
A flued gas heater
A central heating system
If your home already has one of these heater types in working condition, it is not eligible for a heating grant.
The Warmer Kiwi Homes programme funds 50–90% of the cost of insulation. This usually leaves a small balance for you to pay. When we prepare your quote, we’ll discuss what contribution you’re comfortable with. Thanks to the support of our generous funders, we can often provide additional financial help if needed.
