WEATHERIZATION

What is Weatherization?

Weatherization is a free program for indi-

viduals and families who meet income

guidelines. Measures are taken to make

your home more energy-efficient, thereby

saving on utility costs, increasing the

value of the home and improving the

safety of the occupants.

We accomplish these measures by using

proven anti-infiltration and insulation

techniques that positively affect energy

cost, as evidenced by lower energy bills.

Priority is placed on homes with senior

citizens, families with disabilities, chil-

dren under the age of 17, and households

with High Energy Usage and Energy Bur-

dens.

Weatherized homes are warmer in the Winter and cooler in the Summer

Program partici-pants can reduce energy costs by $300-$400/yr on average
