Federal Department of Energy establishes low-income

- Weatherization’s
professionally trained crews conduct a full
energy inspection of your home or apartment to
determine which energy efficient measure are
needed to make the home more energy efficient.
- Health and safety checks
will also be done for carbon monoxide, gas
leaks, smoke detectors, chimney inspections and
heating system efficiency.
- Inspection for building
insulation will be done.
- A blower door test, a test
to measure air leaks before insulation and air
sealing, will be done to check home air leakage.
- Water conservation
measures are used by installing low-flow shower

- Electric conservation

The Weatherization team then determines which

emphasizing the most cost-effective measures and
those which are essential for health and safety.
