grants for insulation and an efficient heater are available for lower-income homeowners.
I have copied the following from todays newsletter superseniors.msd.govt.nz for those who keep an eye on (a) senior/s who is/are living pretty much off a pension and perhaps a little more, herein known as 'lower-income homeowners". This is to let you know that this help is available for them.
"The Warmer Kiwi Homes grants for insulation and an efficient heater are available for lower-income homeowners.
Grants cover 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation and/or an efficient heater. Heater grants are capped at $3,000.
EECA’s Warmer Kiwi Homes Manager Eddie Thompson says a warm, dry home is especially important New Zealanders who may spend more time at home.
“There’s evidence showing a warm and insulated home helps protect you from respiratory disease and reduces hospitalisations and the number of GP visits.”
Warmer Kiwi Homes received an additional $120 million in the recent Budget to extend the programme to 30 June 2023. This additional funding will allow an estimated additional 47,000 insulation or efficient heater retrofits to be completed under the programme.
To find out if you are eligible free call 0800 749 782 or complete the easy online tool on the EECA website. ( govt.us7.list-manage.com... )"
