Is Insulation Really Fully Funded?

You’ve probably seen advertisements saying ”Free Insulation” or ”100% Funded Insulation” and wondered if it sounds too good to be true.

It’s one of the questions we’re asked most often at Easy Insulation.

The answer is yes – in some cases, insulation really can be fully funded.

Instead, the Warmer Kiwi Homes programme can provide eligible homeowners with up to 90% funding, and Easy Insulation may contribute the remaining amount, allowing qualifying homes to receive professionally installed insulation at no cost.

How Does Insulation Funding Work?

The Warmer Kiwi Homes programme helps eligible homeowners pay for ceiling and underfloor insulation.

Depending on your circumstances, the programme may cover 50%, 80% or 90% of the installation cost.

For many people, that’s already a significant saving.

If you qualify for 90% funding, you may also be eligible for Easy Insulation’s additional funding. This means your insulation installation could be 100% funded, leaving you with nothing to pay for the approved insulation work.

Who Can Receive 100% Funded Insulation?

Not everyone will qualify for our 100% funded insulation offer, but many homeowners are surprised to discover they may be eligible.

Funding depends on factors such as:

  • Whether you own and live in your home.

  • When your home was built.

  • Your eligibility under the Warmer Kiwi Homes programme.

  • Whether your home requires ceiling and/or underfloor insulation.

  • Whether your property qualifies for Easy Insulation’s additional subsidy.

The easiest way to find out is to book a free insulation assessment. Call us on 0800 327 946

Why Does Easy Insulation Offer an Additional Subsidy?

At Easy Insulation, our goal has always been to help more local families enjoy warmer, healthier homes.

We know that even a small remaining contribution can sometimes prevent homeowners from going ahead with insulation.

That’s why, for eligible homeowners, we sometimes offer an additional subsidy that can make insulation completely free. It’s one more way we’re helping families throughout Taupō, Rotorua Lakes, South Waikato and the Ruapehu District create warmer, healthier homes.

Are There Any Hidden Costs?

No.

If you qualify for our 100% funded insulation offer, there are no hidden costs for the approved insulation work.

Before any work begins, we’ll explain:

  • The funding you’ve qualified for

  • What insulation is recommended

  • What work will be completed

  • Whether there are any items outside the funded scope

You’ll receive a clear, no-obligation quote before making any decisions.

Why It’s Worth Checking Your Eligibility

Many homeowners assume they won’t qualify for funding and never ask.

However, eligibility has expanded in recent years, and many more homeowners can now access insulation subsidies than ever before.

Even if you don’t qualify for our 100% funded insulation offer, you may still be eligible for significant funding that makes upgrading your home’s insulation much more affordable.

The Benefits Last Long After Installation

Whether your insulation is 100% funded or partially subsidised, you’ll enjoy benefits that continue for years to come.

Quality insulation can help:

  • Keep your home warmer during winter and cool during summer.

  • Reduce heat loss.

  • Minimise condensation and dampness.

  • Create a healthier indoor environment.

  • Improve year-round comfort.

  • Reduce the amount of energy needed to keep your home warm.
