Warmer Kiwi Homes – check if you’re eligible

A warmer, drier home means lower power bills, better health, and more comfort in winter. The Government’s Warmer Kiwi Homes programme provides grants to help homeowners install insulation and efficient heating.

 

Who Can Apply?

You may qualify if you:
Own and live in a home built before 2008, AND
Hold a Community Services Card or SuperGold Combo Card,
OR
Live in a lower-income area (Zones 5–10 on the NZ Deprivation Index).

For heating grants, your home must already have ceiling and underfloor insulation and no existing fixed heater in the main living area.

 

What Support Is Available?

• Insulation grants: 50%–90% of the cost covered.
• Heating grants: Up to 90% of the cost (capped at $3,450).
  Some local organisations may offer extra top-ups, making it even cheaper—or free.
