How it Works...

Though every home is unique in weatherization needs, we perform the following assessments to identify energy-related problems in the home and set a plan for solutions:

  • Heating system safety checks
  • Diagnostic combustion tests
  • Insulation in attics and walls
  • Duct sealing and/or repair

Eligibility for weatherization services depends on household income and is available to both homeowners and renters, with landlord approval.

Our services always start with a home audit from our in-house crew and does not guarantee service delivery.
