Description
The Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) provides free weatherization services and products to improve a home’s energy efficiency and reduce overall utility costs, including attic insulation, weather-stripping, caulking, minor home repairs, and related conservation measures (see below), as applicable within the program guidelines. Products and services provided are based upon the evaluation of cost effectiveness and essential needs.
Weatherization services consist of a full assessment of all weatherization measures that Project GO, Inc. has to offer, including heating and cooling (HCS) services. The services consist of new clients (households or dwellings not previously weatherized under the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, LIHEAP), high energy burden households or households with high energy consumption, households with the lowest incomes, particularly those with household incomes below 75% of the federal poverty guidelines, and households with members of the vulnerable populations. All households can apply, but priority is given to households with higher energy burdens and/or those with vulnerable population numbers.
Once accepted into the program, a thorough assessment of the residence is conducted, including carbon monoxide testing. Conservation through weatherization products may include:
• Attic and floor insulation
• Door weather stripping and caulking
• Water conservation devices
• Water heater insulation
• Water heater repair or replacement
• Dual pane/storm window installation
• Sunscreens
• Heater repair or replacement
• Energy-efficient appliances, including refrigerators and microwaves
