Weatherization
About Weatherization
The Weatherization Assistance Program helps eligible households reduce energy costs, improve home comfort, and increase home safety through energy-efficient improvements. Using advanced diagnostic equipment, our trained staff identify ways to reduce energy loss and help keep homes warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer, and safer year-round.
Services may include insulation, air sealing, heating system improvements, and other energy-saving measures based on an inspection of the home. Please note that Weatherization is not a home rehabilitation program and does not provide major repairs such as roofing, plumbing, electrical work, flooring, or home additions.
Weatherization services may include:
- Repairing or replacing heating equipment
- Adding insulation to ceilings, walls, floors, water heaters, and ductwork
- Weatherstripping doors and windows to reduce air leaks
- Checking for carbon monoxide leaks and other health and safety concerns
- Installing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
