Warm Up New Zealand: Heat Smart is a government home insulation and clean heating subsidy initiative run under the ENERGYWISE™ banner of the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA). It started on 1 July 2009, and aims to retrofit more than 188,500 New Zealand homes over the next four years.
 

According to the EECA website “better insulation means our homes are warmer, cosier, and easier to heat. Warmer, drier homes bring health benefits, especially for those with respiratory illness or other conditions derived from living in cold and damp houses.”

If your house needs insulation and it was built before 2000 you are eligible for a 33% subsidy on insulation under the government home insulation program. Up to $1,300 (incl. GST) is available for both NOVAtherm Ceiling Insulation and NOVAfloor Underfloor Insulation fitted by a professional installer. If you can access the space both Ceiling and Underfloor Insulation must be done to qualify for the funding.

The subsidy is not means tested, and if you hold a Community Services Card (or your rental tenant does) you are eligible for a 60% subsidy on the total cost of insulation.
