How to apply for a Warmer Kiwi Homes grant

Use our tool to find out if you are eligible for a Warmer Kiwi Homes grant, and to send an enquiry to an insulation service provider in your region. A Warmer Kiwi Homes service provider will need to visit your home to assess whether it is suitable for insulation.

Be aware that funding is limited, and projects may not cover all regions or all areas within a region. Please check with the listed service providers to find out if they are operating in your area.

Demand for the programme is very high - please contact service providers in your region, but be aware some providers are booked well in advance.

There may be other payment options to help you pay off the rest of the cost - talk to a service provider to find out more.
