Weatherization


Weatherization Assistance Program

Program Basics

The Weatherization Assistance Program helps income-qualified families improve the energy efficiency of their homes. Households earning at or below 200% of the federal poverty level, as defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, may be eligible. For approved homeowners and renters, all services are provided at no direct cost. The program’s mission is to lower utility bills, conserve energy, and enhance the health and safety of each dwelling unit. 

Note: Owners of eligible rental properties may be responsible for covering 50% of the cost for capital improvements.

Energy Conservation Measures

Once a licensed energy auditor completes a home energy assessment, eligible households may qualify for a range of upgrades designed to improve comfort, safety, and efficiency. Common improvements include:

  •  Air sealing to reduce drafts and heat loss 
  • Installation of energy-efficient LED lighting
  • Added insulation to maintain indoor temperatures
  • Low-flow shower heads to conserve water
  • Solar screens to block heat from windows
  • Weather-stripping to seal doors and windows 

Additional upgrades, such as HVAC systems, refrigerators, and water heaters may be repaired or replaced based on program criteria. These measures are selected to enhance energy efficiency, promote health and safety, and lower monthly utility costs.
