Warm Up Ōtaki Whakamahana Ōtaki
Helping homes look after families.
So many of us live in gappy, under-insulated houses, affecting our health and wealth.
Warm Up Ōtaki addresses energy efficiency for energy sufficiency,
so we can choose to use enough power to live well, without waste.
Warm Up Ōtaki helps homeowners and renters improve their home heating
and insulation, while getting rid of draughts and mould.
