Plus, in many cases we can access 60–100% Government subsidies, so you might not have to pay anything at all.
Keen to save money and stay warmer?

These unsung heroes make our communities stronger, kinder, and more connected.
Now’s the time to give them the recognition they deserve.
Celebrate your local hero today, whether it’s a teacher, a coach, a caregiver, or the neighbour who’s always there when it counts. We’re shining a light on the everyday legends making a difference in towns, suburbs, and rural corners across Aotearoa.
Let’s make sure even the quietest champions get the loudest applause by sharing our legends on the Neighbourly Noticeboard!

These days, we’re getting pretty creative about how we do it too. The latest idea? You can actually buy a symbolic piece of one of New Zealand’s most remote islands as part of the Auckland Island Restoration Project.
If you had a bit of spare cash, would you 'buy' into the project?
And maybe the bigger question — should we be looking at doing the same kind of thing for wildlife refuges on our main islands too?
