About Easy Insulation
Easy Insulation began installing insulation in 2008, making its first Central Plateau home warmer and drier. Back then, our team focused on installing insulation in existing homes.
Today, Easy Insulation installs insulation in all types of buildings—new builds, retrofits, residential and commercial—always with reliable installers you can trust.
Our in-house team of trained insulation installers provides a smoother, more reliable installation experience for our customers.
We’ve got wholesale accounts with New Zealand’s best brands across all of our Insulation categories.
As long-standing EECA-approved insulation installers, we understand robust standards, compliance requirements and provide thorough post-installation quality checks.
Our accredited insulation installers meet New Zealand’s most rigorous health and safety standards, ensuring every installation is carried out safely and professionally. We’re proud to say we’ve got a squeaky clean health and safety record amongst customers and staff alike – not bad considering we’ve made nearly 10,000 homes warmer since 2008. We are the only Government-approved insulation contractor based in Taupo, and we access some difficult spots in the Central North Island better than anyone.
What sets us apart is the way our insulation installers and support team stay committed to creating a positive customer experience at every step. We are quality and audit-driven. We put our hands up quickly if things need a tidy-up, and we prioritise remedial actions to make things right. It's part of our culture.
We do not employ ‘pressure sell’ techniques. Our approach is that, due to our wide range of insulation products and services, we can provide objective recommendations in your situation.
If you’re thinking about overall strategies to improve the thermal efficiency within your home or building, please give us a call on 0800 327 946.
Happy Customers
I don't know why, but we had no idea we could get grants to assist in payment to make our old home warm.
It was the Electrician installing our heat pump who pointed out we didn't have underfloor insulation, and he gave us Easy Insulation's phone number. No talk about grants or payment assistance. When Willie from Easy Insulation arrived to inspect and quote, my heart was in my mouth 'cos I thought, this is going to cost a lot. Willie said I might be eligible for assistance, asked lots of questions and explained the application process.
When he handed me the quote. Well, I couldn't believe it! I was astonished and so so grateful.
The assistance from Maru Energy Trust was so unexpected and so gratefully received.
A few weeks later, Willie arrived, and the underfloor insulation was installed. Shout out to Easy Insulation. Crawling under an old house where opposums used to pee n poop can't have been fun. But they did it uncomplaining, and the underfloor now has a good-looking woolly coat.
We noticed the effect immediately. We don't need the heat pump on so much, and this is mid-August, Central Plateau.
Thank you so much, Maru Energy Trust, for your assistance grant, and Easy Insulation were heroes to go under this old house. They were quick, friendly and tidied up after themselves.
Our heads are still spinning that we received this assistance.
