WEATHERIZATION

The Weatherization Assistance Program enables low-income families to reduce their energy bills by making their homes more energy efficient.  By reducing the energy bills of low-income families instead of offering aid, the savings can now be used on more pressing family issues. On average, weatherization reduces heating bills by 31% and overall energy bills by $274 per year. 

The weatherization process includes a prioritized evaluation of the whole house, including health, safety, and comfort issues unique to the individual home.  Among the many components of the program are heating system efficiency, insulation levels, air bypass detection and sealing, client education and much more. 

Weatherization services may include the following:

Attic, wall and foundation insulation
Air infiltration testing and sealing
Water Heater replacement (home owners only)
Cooking Stove Replacement (homeowners only)
Refrigerator Replacement (homeowners only)
Client Education Program
Furnace clean and tunes
Furnace safety checks
Furnace replacement (home owners only)
House inspection
 

Both homeowners and renters are eligible for the Weatherization Program provided they meet the 200% income guidelines.
