Energy Conservation

WeatherizationWeatherization Program provides energy conservation services to low-income homeowners and renters to make their homes more energy efficient. The program helps to increase energy efficiency and reduce heating bills by concentrating on the problems of heat loss and air infiltration. Energy Conservation services, such as insulation, caulking, and weather-stripping, are provided by our trained construction crews to income-eligible households. A series of diagnostic tests are conducted by the crew prior to and upon completion of the job to ensure the home is safe and energy efficient.

The Emergency Furnace & Water Heater Repair or Replacement program assists homeowners with the repair or replacement of unsafe heating systems or water heaters. Eligible clients must be homeowners approved for LIHEAP fuel assistance through Social Services.

To qualify for cooling assistance the applicant must receive LIHEAP fuel assistance or at least be eligible for it. If eligible Community Action will contact a vendor to install a cooling unit or repair one that is in place.
