Transform Your Home Today

Don’t miss the opportunity to make your home warmer, healthier, and more energy-efficient with the Warmer Kiwi Homes scheme, an initiative by the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA). This scheme offers eligible homeowners up to 90% off insulation costs, making it easier than ever to create an energy-efficient and comfortable home.

What is the Warmer Kiwi Homes Programme?

The EECA Warmer Kiwi Homes scheme is designed to help New Zealand homeowners improve their home’s thermal performance by providing grants for ceiling and underfloor insulation. Insulation is one of the most effective ways to reduce heat loss, lower energy bills, and create a healthier living environment. In 2025, 53% of New Zealand homes still have inadequate ceiling and underfloor insulation leading to 35% of heat loss through the uninsulated roof.

Who is Eligible for the Warmer Kiwi Homes Grant?

You may qualify for insulation funding if you meet the following criteria:

Homeownership: You own and live in a home built before 2008.
Community Services Card or Income Eligibility: You hold a Community Services Card, or your household income meets EECA’s eligibility criteria.
Health Referral: You’ve been referred by the Ministry of Health’s Healthy Homes Initiative.
Location: Your home is in an area identified as lower-income by EECA.

Healthier Living: Glasswool insulation from Knauf Insulation is certified DECLARE Red-List Free, indicating the products are free from harmful chemicals. Furthermore, the products have also received the highest award from Eurofins for indoor air quality.
Sustainability: Knauf Insulation products are made with up to 80% recycled glass bottles and a binder which is free of added formaldehyde, ensuring a safer and eco-friendly choice for your home.
