ENERGYWISE™
Funding for insulation and clean,
efficient heating

You can get ENERGYWISE™ funding to help insulate your house, and install clean and efficient heating under the government's Warm up New Zealand: Heat Smart programme.

Who is eligible?

Homeowners with houses built before 2000 are eligible.

What can I use the funding for?

Funding can be used to install:

  • Ceiling and underfloor insulation, up to a required standard (please note you need to get both ceiling and underfloor insulation done, if at all possible, to qualify for funding).
  • A clean, efficient heating device in the primary living space, if the primary living space does not already have a heating device that meets current standards. You are only eligible for funding for the installation of clean heating if your insulation first meets standards.

A heatpump can give up to $4.50 worth of heating for every $1 of power. And combined with the right insulation your cost of heating can go down from $100 to $20 per month!

Ventilation
