Home insulation funding

If you are a homeowner (including landlords) and your house was built before the year 2000, you can get up to $1,300 (or 33%) towards the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation and its installation.

If you have a Community Services Card, you may be able to get 60% off the total cost of insulation and its installation. This funding is limited, however, so be sure to check its availability with service providers.

Pay off the rest  from $7 a week*

While ENERGYWISE™ funding helps with the overall cost of insulating your house, paying off the balance gradually through your mortgage or rates can make settling the remaining cost easier. Pay off the balance of your insulation through your rates or mortgage from as little as $7 a week*

For the same cost as a DVD rental or a couple of cups of coffee each week, you and your family can experience the benefits of a warmer, healthier more comfortable home immediately; without the financial burden of paying the entire cost up front. 

*Based on a 10 -year payment term, bank and council terms and conditions apply.
