Insulation & Ventilation

We can help you to have a dry, healthier home that’s warmer in winter and cooler in summer, with insulation and a better air flow through your rooms. Find out about financial assistance on this page.

What are the benefits?

The comfort and health of your home can be highly improved by installing or upgrading your insulation.

Ventilation systems improve air flow in your home and this reduces excess moisture and the growth of mould. it also helps keep an even temperature improving your family’s health. 

Insulation and ventilation work well together to provide a more comfortable home.

Things to consider

Access to some attic/roof space is something you will need.

Find more information at EECA on insulation 

What funding is available?

Insulation - funding available - $1000 - $4500
Ventilation - funding available - $1000 - $7500

Eligible ratepayers can access funding at 6% from Hawke’s Bay Regional Council.  This is repaid over 10 years by way of a 'voluntary targeted rate' (VTR).  

This voluntary targeted rate is not a loan, and to get the funding homeowners / ratepayers need a good history of paying regional council rates.  Any existing VTR balance can be combined with a new one into a single VTR (one per property) sustainable homes combination, up to $20,000. 

You may not get approval from the Regional Council if there is evidence that adding the repayments will cause hardship. This is our responsibility in line with the guidance of the Consumer, Credit and Finance Act Amendment for responsible lending.  

How to apply

Print off the PDF application form in 'related documents' above, and post or bring in to our offices, or through your supplier.

Repayments calculator
