If you’ve noticed condensation on your windows, cold clammy walls, or a musty smell that won’t go away—your home might be trying to tell you something. With winter fast approaching, now’s the time to sort it out and enjoy a warmer, drier home—without sky-high power bills.

For families with young children or anyone living with respiratory conditions, your home environment can play a significant role in how you feel this winter. The good news? A few targeted improvements can go a long way in helping you stay warm and well.

Living in a coastal home comes with a unique set of challenges, particularly when it comes to maintaining a comfortable and energy-efficient living space. Exposure to salt air, high humidity, and strong winds can take a toll on your home's insulation, leading to increased energy costs and reduced comfort. Fortunately, house insulation grants are available to help coastal homeowners protect their investment and enjoy a more comfortable living environment.

In today's diverse family structures, it's not uncommon for multiple generations to live together under one roof. While this arrangement offers many benefits, such as increased family support and shared living costs, it also presents unique challenges when it comes to creating a comfortable living environment that caters to the needs of all ages. Heat pump subsidies, such as those offered through the Warmer Kiwi Homes Grant, can help multi-generation households overcome these challenges by providing an energy-efficient and cost-effective solution for heating and cooling.
