Maintaining a warm and comfortable home is essential for the health and well-being of our loved ones who are older adults. However, the cost of heating can be a significant burden for many seniors living on fixed incomes. The Warmer Kiwi Homes program offers a solution through its heat pump grants, designed to help homeowners make their homes more comfortable and affordable to heat.

Understanding the Warmer Kiwi Homes Program's Heat Pump Grants

The Warmer Kiwi Homes program provides financial assistance to eligible homeowners for the installation of energy-efficient heat pumps. For homeowners who meet the criteria, the program can cover up to 80% of the cost of purchasing and installing a heat pump, making it easier to maintain a warm home without the burden of high heating costs.

The Benefits of Heat Pumps for Seniors

Efficient Heating

Heat pumps are one of the most efficient ways to heat your home, as they transfer heat rather than generating it from scratch. This means that you and your family can enjoy a warm, comfortable home while using less energy and saving money on your heating bills.

Easy to Use

Heat pumps are simple to operate, with many models featuring user-friendly controls and remote access. This makes it easy to adjust the temperature to their liking without having to navigate complicated settings.

Improved Air Quality

Heat pumps not only warm your home but also help to circulate and filter the air, removing allergens, dust, and other irritants. This can be particularly beneficial for residents with respiratory issues or allergies.

Helping Your Senior Loved Ones Access Heat Pump Grants

If you have older adults or seniors as family members who could benefit from a heat pump, it's worth checking their eligibility for the Warmer Kiwi Homes program. To qualify, they must own and live in their home, the home must have been built before 2008, and they must either hold a Community Services Card or live in a low-income area (DEP 7, 8, 9, or 10).


You can help your loved ones by assisting them with the application process, gathering the necessary documents, and ensuring they receive the maximum support they're entitled to.
