What is Weatherization?

A FREE energy-efficiency program aimed to help low-income households reduce energy costs while ensuring their health and safety. The services are offered to eligible households at NO COST – thanks to funding from the U.S. Departments of Energy and Health and Human Services.

In addition to energy-efficiency improvements, the program checks each home’s indoor air quality, combustion safety, carbon monoxide and other possible issues. Following each home check, a work order is created and trained crews install energy efficient supports – like blowing insulation or new windows – plus any health and safety measures needed. At the conclusion of each project, a certified inspector makes sure all work is completed appropriately.

Who is eligible?

Douglas County residents. Recipients of Supplemental SecurityIncome (SSI), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or the Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) are automatically eligible for weatherization services. Households NOT receiving assistance through one of these programs must meet the income guidelines.
