Special offer for Masterton and Wainuiomata homes

We are currently reviewing the scheme’s structure and are not taking any new applications at this time.

We will update the home heating and insulation assistance page when we have more details.

---

Because Masterton and Wainuiomata are situated in inland valleys fringed with hills, air pollution can linger on cold, windless nights when people stay home and light their fires.

The particles and other pollutants in smoke can cause a range of health effects and young people, the elderly and people with poor respiratory systems are the most likely to be affected.

 

Breathe easier

Warm Greater Wellington now offers assistance for people who live in the Masterton and Wainuiomata Districts so you can replace your old wood burner and open fire with clean heating appliances such as heat pumps.

 

Up to $5,000 for heating

You or your landlord could apply for an advance of up to $5,000 to buy and install an approved heating unit this winter.

 

Up to $3,900 for insulation

You or your landlord could apply for an advance of up to $3,900 (including GST) to buy and install insulation this winter.
