Heating grants could be lost
Some Oamaru households could lose access to free insulation and heating. PHOTO: PETER MCINTOSH Changes to the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) Warmer Kiwi Homes grants may mean some Oamaru and Palmerston households will lose access to free insulation and heating. The Warmer Kiwi Homes programme provides grants to help eligible homeowners in New Zealand improve the insulation and heating of their homes, particularly in older, less insulated properties. The grants offer 100% free insulation and up to 90% off an efficient heater, including heat pumps or an efficient wood burner, to eligible households. From June 30, EECA will switch to using 2023 census data to define low-income areas. EECA general manager delivery and partnerships Richard Briggs said the main criteria for the grants had not changed but the update from the 2023 census might affect eligibility. "Some people who weren't eligible before might now be able to get support, and a few who were previously eligible may no longer qualify," he said. Mr Briggs said any total number of eligible homes is indicative only and eligibility will depend on a few things, not just census data. Homeowners living in houses built before 2008 may qualify for grants of up to 90% off ceiling and underfloor insulation and up to 80% off a heat pump. "The best way to check is by using the Warmer Kiwi Homes tool. It's quick and easy, and gives you an answer based on your exact address," Mr Briggs said. • To check your eligibility go to:

CBHS too good for OBHS
Photo: Peter McIntosh Otago Boys' High School fullback Rahui Valli is tackled by Christchurch Boys' High School centre William Brown during the annual First XV interschool at Littlebourne yesterday. Christchurch Boys', who are flying in the Crusaders schools competition with seven straight wins, won 43-19. Hoani Taimalie, Jackson Boyd and Charlie Ottrey scored tries for the home school. Otago Boys' coach Pelu Taele-Pavihi said he was proud of his players for the fight and effort they showed until the finish. While the result did not go the way of the home team, it was an important day at the school as Otago Boys' officially opened the refurbished Marsh Stand. The grandstand was upgraded thanks to the support of distinguished old boys David, John and the late Graeme Marsh.
