New Nationwide Rental Project
The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) is offering landlords a subsidy of up to 55% on a full house retrofit of insulation and other energy efficiency measures for any of their rental properties occupied by low-income tenants.
The energy efficient measures for the property that may be included as part of the offer are:
- Ceiling and underfloor insulation where accessible
- Hot water cylinder wraps and pipe lagging
- Energy efficient light bulbs
- Energy efficient showerheads
- Underfloor polythene
- Draught-proofing of doors
Is your rental property eligible?
There are several criteria the landlord, the rental property and the tenant need to meet before the landlord can apply for the subsidy:
- The property must have been built before 1978
- The property should have insufficient ceiling and/or underfloor insulation
- The tenant named on the tenancy agreement must be eligible for a community services card
- Rent must not be raised within six months of receiving the subsidy.
If you (the landlord) meet these criteria then contact Eco Insulation or the Energy Efficiency Community Network (EECN) now.
