What is the Warmer Kiwi Homes grant?
A Government programme, run by EECA (Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority), that pays 50% to 90% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation for homeowners in pre-2008 homes.
We handle all of it, from your first call to the final clean-up.
Not covered: wall insulation, rentals, baches and business-owned homes.
Extra local funding may be available in your area.
