Warmer Homes Scheme For The Elderly

The Warmer Homes Scheme is designed for homeowners with pre-2008 houses lacking insulation or heat sources, residing in low-income areas and not just the elderly. This program recognises the challenges faced by those with limited resources and seeks to provide them with warmer and more comfortable homes. The Warmer Homes Scheme aims to enhance their quality of life, promote better health, and ensure a safe living environment by addressing heating and insulation needs.

Based on the assessment, tailored solutions are implemented to address specific needs and ensure optimal thermal comfort.

 

Is there a government subsidy for heat pumps?

Yes, the New Zealand government offers subsidies for heat pumps through various programs such as the Warmer Kiwi Homes Program. These subsidies aim to make heat pump installations more accessible and affordable for eligible homeowners.
