More than 50,000 homes have been retrofitted under the Government’s Warm Up New Zealand: Heat Smart home insulation and heating programme.
One year in, we’re well on track to meet our target of at least 188,500 homes insulated by 2013. The programme makes Kiwi homes warmer and healthier, and has had a positive economic impact during difficult times.
About 2000 new jobs are expected to be created as a result of the programme, and we are seeing good growth in the many businesses directly and indirectly involved.
Under the scheme, homeowners with houses built before 2000 are eligible for 33% of the cost of installing insulation up to $1300, and up to $500 for a clean heating device. Extra funding is available for Community Services Card holders.
