 The U.S. Department of Energy’s Weatherization Assistance
program is the nation’s core program for delivering energy efficiency
services to low income households. Professionally trained
weatherization crews perform on-site home energy audits using state of
the art equipment to identify outside drafts and inspect heating and
cooling systems for efficiency.
Weatherization crews install insulation, seal off air leaks, make
modifications to (or replace) existing heating systems and make minor
repairs to ensure safety.
Once installed, these energy saving measures will help to reduce your
heating and cooling costs for years to come.
- Weatherization measures
are delivered to single-family homes, multi-family dwellings, and
mobile homes.
- Weatherization measures
reduce average annual energy costs by $300 per home.
- Weatherization returns
$2.10 in energy-related benefits for every $1 invested in the program.
