Can anyone in the home have a Community Services Card to be eligible?
The homeowner needs a valid Community Services Card or SuperGold combo card to be eligible for the grant.
How can I get a Community Services Card?
Getting a Community Services Card
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.
For more information visit Work & Income
Applying for a CSC Card
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.
What products are covered in the Insulation Grant?
The Warmer Kiwi Homes programme covers ceiling and underfloor insulation, and where required ground vapour barriers.
I have an open fire. Can I also get a subsidised heat pump?
Yes you can.
I have an old broken & tired heat pump. Can I replace it with a new heat pump and get the subsidy?
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.
Can I get a heat pump with the subsidy if I have a woodburner or pellet burner?
Possibly, it depends.
- If the woodburner or pellet burner are working or broken but under warranty then they are not eligible for the heat pump subsidy.
- Exceptions to the above can be made if:
- there are special health reasons that mean the occupant/s are not physically capable of using an existing heater e.g. an existing wood burner.
- the existing heater is broken and is uneconomical/impossible to repair due to cost or lack of availability of parts.

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.
