Home Insulation Subsidies
EECA's Warmer Kiwi Homes programme creates healthier homes for homeowners with subsidies to insulate and heat homes.
Nobody knows insulated homes are healthy homes better than the government. Investment in insulation subsidies has saved the government's health budget which is why successive governments have continued to offer them. The insulation subsidies available are for qualifying homeowners* with:
- 80-100% insulation subsidies for ceiling and underfloor insulation, and on-ground moisture barrier. The amount can be higher than EECA's 80% as in some areas a local trust has toppped it up to a higher level. Brightr has insulation subsidies in all our regions.
- 80% heat pump grants (up to $3,000 inc GST). Brightr has heat pump subsidies in Bay of Plenty and Eastern Bay of Plenty. Subsidy providers vary by region.

Cost was significantly cheaper than competition due to insulation subsidy. A thorough initial professional quote, good communication, punctual install team.

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.
