Weatherization

Weatherization Assistance Program

Weatherization makes your home more energy efficient. Your home may need weatherization services if:

• You struggle to pay heating or cooling bills each month.
• Your home seems hard to heat and cool.
• You notice drafts around doors and windows.

Typical weatherization services include:

• Sealing air leaks so your home does not lose warmed or cooled air to the outside
• Installing insulation in attics, walls, and floors
• Sealing and insulating ducts
• Installing a smart thermostat
• Replacing existing lighting with energy-efficient bulbs
• Performing tune-ups and repairs to heating and cooling systems

Weatherization Eligibility

WAP targets families with incomes below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (see chart below for details), households receiving TANF, and households that include at least one member who receives SSI. People of any age may apply, but elderly or disabled people and families with children receive priority when funds are limited.

Weatherization can be done on a rented home as long as your landlord is willing to participate. 

*Homes in need of major repairs will not qualify.
