What is a weatherization assistance provider?

Weatherization assistance providers can assist eligible homeowners and owners of rental properties with measures to improve energy efficiency, including:

• an energy audit of the home to identify specific needs;
• addition of insulation to walls or ceilings;
• weather-stripping and caulking around doors and windows;
• cleaning, testing, repairs, or replacement of heating systems;
• replacement or repair of broken windows and/or outside doors;
• mitigation of health and safety concerns; in particular assuring that all dwelling units receive smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.

Weatherization Services may also include other energy-related improvements such as: water heater repair/replacement, lighting fixture replacement, venting systems, refrigerator replacement, and certain electrical service work.

Weatherization Services are available to income-eligible (60% of State median income) individuals who may be either homeowners or renters living in a single-family home, a manufactured/mobile home, or an apartment.
