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 starting 1 July 2009.

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.
• - 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
• - Other energy efficiency measures where necessary: a hot water cylinder wrap, pipe lagging, draught-stopping, and a ground moisture barrier

What funding will be available?
The government will provide funding to the levels outlined below.

	Insulation	Clean heating
All eligible houses	33% of the total cost up to $1300 (incl GST)	$500 (incl GST)
