Free in-home consultations, sales, installation and auditing services - we have got Kiwis' backs, supporting homeowners, landlords, property managers and builders the best solution, with simple steps and the best service right at your side.


Brightr was formed to help kiwis get the best energy performance possible out of their home and businesses.

Starting in Auckland in 2009, we've continued to grow our offer and expand our branches throughout New Zealand. We were one of the first partners of the government's EECA ENERGYWISE™ Warm Up New Zealand programme in 2009, offering subsidised insulation and/or clean heating to homeowners.


In 2018, we continued on as a provider in the Governments Warmer Kiwi Homes programme and continue to work with many regional community funders with a joint vision to help make insulating your home more affordable.


Brightr was previously known as Smart Energy Solutions and in June 2021 we changed our name to Brightr to reflect our love of making Aotearoa a better, brighter place one home at a time. Owned by InZone Industries (along with sister brand Mammoth) we're here to help brighter tomorrows start today with warmer, healthier homes that work smarter and use less energy.


We’ve set ourselves up to set you up, with a focus on personal service for personalised solutions that fit what you and your home needs. We’ve got you covered across most NZ regions.
