The Nevada Weatherization Assistance Program helps income-qualified families lower their utility bills, conserve energy, and improve the health and safety of their homes. 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
- HVAC, refrigerator, and/or water heater upgrades/repairs
The Nevada energy assistance program is available for households at or below 200% of the federal poverty level, as determined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget and published by the U.S Department of Health and Human Services. For approved homeowners and renters, all services are provided at no cost.
Note: Owners of Eligible rental properties may be responsible for covering 50% of the cost.
