What is the Weatherization Program?
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 inspectors 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 contractors 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.
