Insulation grants - are you eligible?
Published 30 August 2025
More homes in the Wellington Region are now eligible for a subsidy under the Warmer Kiwi Homes programme
300,000 more homes can get subsidised insulation, thanks to funding being expanded to Deprivation Zones 5 and 6. Make sure you double-check to see if your address is there!
Did you know that there are thousands of homeowners around the Wellington region that are eligible for government-funded insulation grants, simply because of their address? In this blog post, we will help you check if you – or a friend or family member - are eligible to get your home insulated for 50-100% off!
We are proud to be a provider of the new Warmer Kiwi Homes programme in Wellington City, which provides government insulation grants to eligible homeowners to help with the cost of home insulation.
With additional funding from Wellington City Council and Hutt Mana Charitable Trust, eligible homeowners within the Wellington region can save between 50-100% of the cost of their home insulation.
Who is eligible?
Here are the criteria below:
First, you have to be the homeowner-occupier of a property built before 2008. No insulation grants for rental properties are available.
Next, you have to meet at least ONE of the following two criteria:
Have a Community Services Card or SuperGold combo card OR
Own and live in a home in an area identified as lower-income by EECA.
If you, or someone you know, owns their home and has a Community Services card, great! Please do get in touch.
What is a lower-income area?
Deprivation 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10 zones are areas identified by the Government as lower income. If you happen to own and live in a home in one of these areas, you might be eligible for insulation grants under the Warmer Kiwi Homes programme.
Since this programme started, we’ve spoken to hundreds of homeowners who had no idea they lived in these areas and were therefore eligible for the insulation grants – even if they don’t have a Community Services Card.
