About the Warm Up New Zealand: Heat Smart
programme
Warm Up New Zealand: Heat Smart is an insulation
and clean heating programme
that will give more New Zealanders than ever before
the opportunity to make their homes warmer, drier,
healthier and more energy
efficient.
It started on 1 July 2009, and aims to retrofit more
than 188,500 New Zealand homes over a four year period. It is run
by EECA and replaced the EECA home insulation programmes. The
government has committed to spending $347 million on the
programme.
Better insulation means our homes are warmer, cosier,
and easier to heat. Warmer, drier homes bring health benefits,
especially for those with respiratory illness or other conditions
derived from living in cold and damp houses.
Insulation requirements in the Building Code have
increased over the years. This programme only offers funding
to houses built prior to 2000, which is a way to prioritise houses
that will have inferior or no existing
insulation.
