Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 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 households are eligible for insulation grants.
And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.
Check your eligibility, or check for your whānau.

"Dave next door is the best - we live in an apartment block in the CBD and every day he gets up and cleans the driveway- always puts out everyone’s rubbish bins and scrubs them out every time they are emptied. He cleaned around our pool area after a storm recently as we were busy at work. He is always first to help others whenever he can whether they have an issue with their unit or a stranger having car trouble out on the street - They don’t come better!"

Multi-millionaire Sir James Wallace was named as the prominent businessman who sexually abused three young men and attempted to silence them through bribery - and to keep his name secret.
His name has now gone from the gallery, though a staff member said they were "trying not to make a big deal of it.”
There's been new investment in South Waikato in recent times, a local leader says.
South Waikato Investment Fund Trust (SWIFT) chief executive Amanda Hema says recent investment in the mill is "extremely exciting" - and the mayor agrees.
