We make the process easy
The EECA "Warmer Kiwi Homes" programme offers grants of 80-100% for home insulation and heat pumps, for eligible owner-occupied homes in priority areas.
The government recognises the need for insulation and heating to create warmer, healthier homes.
Contact us today and we'll contact you and let you know if your home is eligible. No obligation.
Eligibility for 80-100% Warmer Kiwi Homes grants
To be eligible for the Heat Pump grant, your insulation must be adequate and up to EECA standards. If you're not insulated, then we can assess your insulation and heat pump at the same time.
80% Heat Pump grants - eligibility
To be eligible for a heat pump subsidy the eligibility criteria is the same as for insulation PLUS your home must first be insulated to EECA's required standard - this may require an inspection before being authorised to be quoted for a heat pump. The heat pump is only for the living room and is conditional on not already having a working heat pump, wood or pellet burner, flued gas heater or central heating system.
Eligibility for 80% Warmer Kiwi Homes heat pump grants
The homeowner needs a valid Community Services Card or SuperGold combo card to be eligible for the grant.
This information has come from Work & Income who administer the Community Services Card on behalf of the Ministry of Health.
A Community Services Card is available to eligible people to assist with the costs of health care. It also provides other benefits and discounts (including public transport from September 2022) and can entitle homeowners to insulation and heat pump subsidies if their home qualifies.
If you are a beneficiary, Work and Income may have sent you a Community Services Card direct.
If you're not a beneficiary and you think you may be eligible for a CSC card, this this the link to the Application Form.
The Warmer Kiwi Homes programme covers ceiling and underfloor insulation, and where required ground vapour barriers.
Yes you can.
More than likely. If your existing heater is broken and is uneconomical/impossible to repair due to cost or lack of availability of parts then you may be able to replace it with a funded heat pump. Contact us and we can let you know more.
Possibly, it depends.

Salesman and Installation team were awesome. The installation guys were friendly and did a good job. All in all we are happy with the end result and very thankful for the Government subsidy to help us have a warmer home and we have definitely noticed the difference.

Fast efficient service and met all the promises. Our elderly tenant is now nice and warm in winter.
Robyn, Tauranga
Cost was significantly cheaper than competition due to insulation subsidy. A thorough initial professional quote, good communication, punctual install team. Very professional, friendly and very efficient. Final work checked by supervisor. Could not ask for better service. I don't give out recommendations lightly so well done and thank you.

Your company has done the insulation for the ceiling and underfloor of my house. The job was very well done. We appreciate what you guys have done for us and our house is much warmer now. I have to say thank you to the salesperson and the workers who put the blanket on. They are awesome. They are all very professional, friendly and helpful.
