We all want a warm, comfortable home, but many New Zealand houses are difficult and expensive to heat to healthy temperatures.

Around 35% of the energy used in the average New Zealand household goes on heating your home. If your home doesn't have adequate insulation (like the majority of our homes), a lot of your heat is just wasted.

Improving your home's ability to keep in the heat and smart use of a clean, efficient heating system will make your home more cost-effective to run and warmer and healthier to live in.

Are you in the market for a new home? Whether you're buying or renting, it's worth considering how warm and cheap to run a home will be, before you commit to it.

Use this handy checklist to give you an indication if a home you're looking at is likely to be an energy-guzzling icebox or a warm, comfortable, energy efficient haven.

EECA offers financial assistance to New Zealand commercial and public businesses to help them achieve guaranteed electricity savings.

renovating. It is when you can go back to the drawing board to really incorporate energy
efficiency into your design.

cost-effective to run for years to come - and you don't have to compromise on style to do it.

resources, so you'll leave a better legacy for generations to come.
