Energy Efficiency
ENERGY EFFICIENCY FUND $400,000
There are around 900,000 houses in New Zealand with insufficient or no insulation, where indoor temperatures fall well below World Health Organisation recommended limits.
TECT contributed $400,000 to the Tauranga Healthy Homes Project. The focus of the project is to reach consumers who can’t afford to improve the energy efficiency of their homes. TECT’s contribution and other local funding secured will enable a minimum of 360 local homes to be retrofitted in the first year of the programme – a real benefit for the community.
The healthy homes package includes a home energy check plus ceiling and underfloor insulation, polythene ground covers, hot water cylinder wraps and pipe lagging, weather stripping and draft stopping around doors and windows.
TECT is proud to be involved in such a positive initiative and is delighted to be part of a project that will improve health and energy efficiency, as well as making homes warmer and drier, especially for the elderly and young children who are vulnerable to the cold.

"The difference to our property is absolutely amazing and instantly noticeable! So warm and cosy and no longer a cold drafty house. We no longer have the coughs and sniffly noses on our 2 year old twins. Having the insulation financially assisted through the grant scheme has been an absolute help to our family. Without it, we would not have been able to afford to insulate our house"
