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.
Go to our website to check their eligibility, today.

For Thursday, the 14th September at 6pm we are screening the German documentary and hit of the NZ Film Festival, Merkel.
Our 8pm screening is the heartfelt UK drama, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, starring Jim Broadbent.
Merkel
Germany, 2022, Documentary, (English subtitles), 97 mins, Rated M
Featuring: Angela Merkel, Tony Blair, Hillary Clinton, Condoleeza Rice. Director: Eva Weber
Eva Weber’s engrossing documentary of Angela Merkel is the story of how a triple political outsider – a woman, a scientist, and an East German – became one of the most powerful politicians in the world.
For years, Merkel, the first female Chancellor of Germany, was Western Europe’s most influential leader. Yet, despite her 16 years in the political spotlight, she remains something of an enigma. She put her policies first, keeping her personal life private.
From Merkel’s upbringing in East Germany, and studies in quantum chemistry, to her surprising start in politics and fast ascent, the documentary brings into focus a rich portrait of Merkel, using a vast array of archival material and interviews from friends, political allies and critics. The result is a detailed and thoughtful examination of Merkel’s life and career, told with humour, subtlety, and poignancy.
"A human portrait of the woman who would grow up to save democracy.” Indiewire
