Smart Energy Solutions are one of the primary providers of subsidies throughout New Zealand. If you have a tenant with a Community Services Card we can apply for a 50% subsidy to insulate your rental home. Our trained staff can answer any questions you may have please ring 0800 888 766
EECA residential general manager Robert Linterman said the uptake of the subsidies for rentals had been relatively slow but changes to the Residential Tenancy Act would mean that by July 2019 all rental properties must have ceiling and underfloor insulation meeting a set standard.
The 2016 Budget allocated $18 million over two years to insulate 20,000 rental properties occupied by low-income tenants with a community services card, and those referred by the health sector with conditions related to cold, damp housing.

"I was suspicious of the establishment at the time. You need to understand, I had grown up a welfare-dependent "half-caste" (I hate that term) boy living with his mother, escaping from a life of alcohol, crime and a level of violence that I would not tolerate for my daughters. An under-achiever, I was expelled from two secondary schools. I feel I had a reason to be angry at "the system".
"Then I became a father. It changed my life. I needed to be a responsible adult caring for a son, then a daughter – eventually seven children. We were young parents and wanted to do only the best for these precious beings.
"I read the pamphlet. It described "studies" in the Netherlands into communities that didn't look like mine, but I took little persuasion. I stated our second child, our little daughter Te Miringa, would not be immunised.
"At the time my wife Tracy was working as a nurse at the local medical centre and immunising children daily. Yet this was my protest against the establishment that I so mistrusted.
"Fifteen months later, we had a scare. Te Miringa became unwell with high fever and a body rash and the doctors were concerned as there was a measles outbreak locally. And I realised the information from the Netherlands did not reflect my reality.
"We got Te Miringa immunised."
