Program Description

The Weatherization Assistance program is designed to lower energy costs for low-income families by installing energy savings measures. Once approved, a Weatherization auditor will come to your home to identify issues that can be addressed within our federal guidelines and budget. We may be able to address issues with air infiltration and attic insulation, as well as inefficient refrigerators, heating/cooling systems, and water heaters. If not already present in your home, the program will also provide compact fluorescent bulbs, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and whole house ventilations fans. This is not a complete list, and no specific items can be guaranteed until an audit is performed. Once installed, these measures will help reduce your energy costs, as well as improve the health and safety of your home. Please see our website for a pre-screening form.
