What this means for you!
The purpose of Weatherization is to increase the energy efficiency of dwellings owned or occupied by low-income persons, reduce their total residential expenditures, and improve their health and safety. Priority is given to those properties serving low-income persons such as the elderly (55 years old or older), persons with disabilities or handicap needs, and families with children.
This is an Investment in your property. Most multi-dwelling buildings have a huge potential for energy savings. Even buildings that were built in the 70s typically demonstrate considerable savings just from efficiency upgrades. Gas and electric prices are not getting any cheaper, energy consumption is not going down, and the equipment operating in your building is losing efficiency with each passing year. This program is able to continue receiving funds year after year because of its commitment and proven track record for saving energy which helps everyone. Your commitment of time and resources to participate in the program will be recovered through the capital improvements made, reduced utility and operation and maintenance costs, and increased tenant comfort and satisfaction.

- Energy Audit
- Insulation in Attics and Walls
- Furnace Replacement
- Furnace Safety Testing
- Refrigerator Replacement
- Sealing Air Leaks
