EECA Program
Making Energy Efficiency More Affordable for Kiwi Homes
The EECA Programme (Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority) is a New Zealand government initiative designed to support energy efficiency and renewable energy use. Through funding, education, and partnerships, EECA helps homeowners, landlords, and businesses reduce energy costs and create warmer, drier, healthier environments.
How EECA Supports Insulation
EECA offers grants and co-funding for insulation and heating upgrades—especially for homes that need better protection against heat loss. These initiatives aim to improve comfort, lower energy bills, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the country.

Funding for clean, efficient heaters in insulated homes
