Special offer for Masterton and Wainuiomata homes
https://archive.gw.govt.nz/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.
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.
You or your landlord could apply for an advance of up to $5,000 to buy and install an approved heating unit this winter.
You or your landlord could apply for an advance of up to $3,900 (including GST) to buy and install insulation this winter.
It is recommended that your home is properly insulated before investing in new heating appliances
Just insulation (underfloor and ceiling) – up to $3900
Both insulation and heating – up to $5000
Just heating – up to $5000
There is a charge of 7% per annum which is added to your repayments which are made via your rates over the following 9 years.
We send you an annual statement and each year Masterton District Council will send you a rates assessment that will include the year’s payment details
You can phone the Regional council at any time to ask for your balance.
