Weatherization & Energy Conservation
How do the Energy Conservation & Weatherization initiatives work?
Homeowners and renters – including households whose cost of heat is included in the rent – can apply for assistance at the agency in their area. Eligibility is based on household size and the gross annual income of every household member 18 or older. Household income cannot exceed 60% of estimated State Median Income.
The Heating Emergency Assistance Retrofit Task Weatherization Assistance Program (HEARTWAP) provides heating system services to low-income households.
Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) provides a variety of weatherization measures to Home Energy Assistance-eligible households whose income does not exceed 60% of the State Median Income and who reside in the Self Help service area. Weatherization is the nation’s largest energy-efficiency program, with trained inspectors and crews that install measures aimed at reducing the cost of energy for low income families. WAP prioritizes applications according to need: The Self Help Energy Conservation Programs encompass a wide array of services that receive funding from both Government as well as utility company sources.
