The Government’s “Warmer Kiwi Homes” programme helps eligible homeowners insulate their homes. We can help you to check eligibility and access funding.
Absolute Energy is an EECA (Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority) service provider, which means we may be able to help you get a government grant to make your insulation more affordable.
The Warmer Kiwi Homes grant now covers 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation and in some areas, generous funding from community organisations means the cost to the homeowner is even lower for insulation. It’s designed to make insulation more accessible and affordable for homeowners who need it most.
Warmer Kiwi Homes grants for insulation are available to:
Nelson – Tasman – Marlborough – Wataki District – Dunedin City
Clutha District – Central Otago District – Queenstown-Lakes District
Absolute Energy is the contractor for the Warmer Healthier Homes Nelson, Tasman & Marlborough insulation project, which provides insulation grants to eligible homeowners in Nelson, Tasman, and Marlborough. More than 1500 homes have been insulated since the project started in 2014.
Warmer Kiwi Homes grants for insulation are available to:
A Westpac Warm Up loan is available to people living in their own homes and to landlords. You can use it for any mix of insulation, eligible heat pumps, double glazing, ventilation, wood burners and solar power systems.
Warm Home Essentials requires a professional installer like Absolute Energy to install your insulation and also require an insulation. quote to preapprove the loan.
“The team did a fantastic job of reinstalling the insulation that had been roughly put up and finishing off the part that hadn’t been started. It’s a really neat job. Without the government grant, we honestly would have put off getting this done for at least 5 years as having just bought this house (out first home) in November 2019 we do not have any spare money for this sort of thing. I’m also grateful to Cosy Homes for referring us to this service as without their recommendation we would not have known this was an option for us and would still be living without underfloor insulation!”
