What Measures Qualify?

These are the most common weatherization measures provided at low or no cost to the customer:

Insulation Installing the appropriate amount of insulation in your home will not only help reduce your cooling and heating costs but also make your home more comfortable.

Duct Sealing
Properly sealing your air conditioning ducts will reduce the amount of cooling and heating required to keep your home comfortable. This saves energy and lowers cooling and heating costs. Service providers must perform an air leakage test before and after performing the duct sealing measures.

Caulking and Weather-stripping
Caulking around windows and other openings and weather-stripping doors in your home can significantly reduce air leakage. This helps cut cooling and heating costs. Service providers must perform an air leakage test before and after performing the air sealing measures.

Compact Fluorescent Lighting
Installing compact fluorescent lamps is a quick and easy way to help reduce the amount of energy your home consumes.

Water-saving Devices
Low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators can reduce the amount of hot water your home has to heat, which reduces the amount of energy consumed by your water heater.

Other Qualifying Measures

These additional measures may be provided by the Service Provider at a cost to the customer:

• High-Efficiency Central Air Conditioner or Window Air Conditioner
• Floor Insulation
• Solar Screens
• ENERGY STAR® Appliances
• Energy-Efficient Windows

 

Selecting a Service Provider

We encourage you to use our How to Select a Service Provider guide to help you compare providers.  

The Service Provider will evaluate your home to determine which measures will save the most energy and produce the greatest reduction in home energy costs. Some providers charge for this pre-assessment and some do not.

Each Service Provider is required to ensure all installations are completed with quality workmanship. Be sure to inspect the work before signing any final forms. You should contact your Service Provider to resolve any issues with the installation. The next step would be to utilize the complaint procedure outlined in the Consumer Disclosure and Protection form provided by the Service Provider.
