Check If Your Home Qualifies

Answer a few quick questions and I'll tell you exactly what you'd pay for a heat pump after the Warmer Kiwi Homes grant.

Question 1 of 4 0% complete
Question 1
Do you own and live in the home?
The grant is for owner-occupiers only. Renters and landlords are not eligible for the heating grant.
Question 2
Was your home built before 2008?
Most Mt Eden villas, bungalows and older homes qualify. If you're not sure, check your LIM report or ask when he visits.
Question 3
Do you have a Community Services Card or SuperGold Combo card?
Card holders get the maximum grant regardless of where they live in Central Auckland. If you don't have a card, your street still might qualify by area.
Question 4
Do you already have a fixed heater in your main living area?
This includes an existing heat pump, wood burner, pellet burner, flued gas heater or central heating. If yes, you won't qualify for the heating grant.
