WHAT IS WEATHERIZATION?

Air leaks through the ceiling, walls, foundation and other areas are typically the source of heating and cooling losses in homes and workplaces. 

Reducing the amount of air that flows in and out of a building can be a cost-effective way to cut heating and cooling costs, increase comfort and create a healthier indoor environment.

Weatherization Benefits

 

  • Energy efficiency: Increases home energy efficiency, reducing energy costs.
  • Health and safety: Addresses energy-related hazards, including indoor air quality, combustion safety, carbon monoxide levels, and mold or hazardous materials like asbestos and lead.
  • Cost savings: Saves homeowners and renters hundreds of dollars every year, freeing up funds for other expenses.
  • Environmental impact: Reduces greenhouse gas emissions and stress on the power grid, making homes resilient to the effects of climate change.
