Weatherization Program: Taking the Chill Off
When your home has drafty windows, cracks in its foundation, or heating systems not functioning at their full potential, your house is not only colder than it has to be, it can also make your energy bills higher than necessary. The Weatherization Assistance Program helps recipients make their homes more energy efficient, saving money and keeping homes warmer.
