Heat Smart Hawke’s Bay assists ratepayers with the cost of fitting ceiling and underfloor insulation and replacing non-compliant burners and open fires.

Funding is open to homeowners with properties built before 2000 and options include a non-repayable grant or a loan which is repaid through the property’s rates over 10 years.

Heat Smart Hawke’s Bay funding assistance is over and above that available through the government’s Energywise grants, and applications are made through EECA’s approved Service Providers (installers).
