Have a project coming up (see pic for idea and attention!) that I’m keen to give a bash whilst saving some more stuff from going to landfill - the cheaper or free-er the better but totally open to a haggle and some $!

They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% - 90% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

In August, the eligibility criteria were extended so over 50,000 more homes are eligible for insulation grants. It gets better - there are lots of community organisations offering extra funding to reduce the cost further.
