No this is not a plug for the series Game of Thrones.
It's the hard truth that we have to admit to ourselves that summer has gone. The nights are getting longer and the days shorter. And brrrrr it is a little chilly some nights and mornings.
If insulation in your house is in short supply then you might want to investigate the Warm Up New Zealand initiative. Especially as there is only one more year of funding available!
Energy Wise (EECA) is a government organisation which is subsidising insulation for those homes in New Zealand that are lacking it. The target homes for funding are:
- homes built before 2000
- someone living in the house is over 65 or under 17
- someone in the household suffers a serious illness, particularly illnesses which are affected by damp and cold like asthma and arthritis
- additionally funding is available for people with a Community Services Card
The great thing is that if your home qualifies for funding then if you are the homeowner you can get up to 100% subsidy. If you are renting then your landlord may only have to pay $500 of the $3000 cost of installing insulation in the ceiling and under the floors.
There are two providers in the Northland area they are:
Why am I telling you all this? Well I am currently living in a home with no insulation and some morning it is much warmer outside than it is inside. Having already having had a bad bout of bronchitis this year my landlord and I are working to get my house warm and toasty for winter.
So if your home needs insulation apply now, there is so much to be gained by just making the call.
