The Weatherization Program provides energy conservation services to eligible households.  Weatherization works has a long life span and will provide savings for many years.  The amount of savings will depend upon the condition of the structure when the work is performed.

Heath and safety testing is performed on all combustion appliances such as furnaces, heating stoves, water heaters and gas ranges.  Combustion appliances may be replaced if they are condemned by the Weatherization Inspector for health or safety reasons.  Our goal is to repair appliances to a safe, working order and extend the life of the appliance where possible.

The Weatherization Crew may insulate and air seal your home to achieve a reduction in the utility usage and an improvement in the comfort of your home.  They will concentrate on the larger areas of heat loss first.

Eligibility

Services are available to individuals who either rent or own their own homes or apartments.  Eligibility is determined by the gross annual income of the household.  Priority is given to households that include members who are either elderly, disabled or 5 years of age or younger.

Applying for Assistance

Call your local ICAP office.  If you already receive energy assistance through our Energy Assistance Program, you are income eligible, and you can be added, at your request, to our waiting list.  When your name comes up, you will be contacted to set up an appointment for an inspection.  You will need to provide the names, ages, social security numbers, gross annual income with documentations for anyone 18 years of age or older, copies of utility bills and landlord information (if renting).

Weatherization services are performed on the structure and can only be done once in a given number of years.  If you move to another home you may qualify for weatherization services on that home.

Please note the Weatherization Program is not a remodeling or rehab program.
