Eligibility
Eligibility
for the Weatherization Program is based solely on income; verification is
required (i.e. paystubs, unemployment, public assistance documents). All
weatherization work is done at no cost to the individual resident. If the
dwelling is a rental unit, the landlord must sign a landlord release form
before any materials will be installed. Homes weatherized since September 30,
1994 are not eligible.
What
Weatherization Includes
Weatherization of a home
consists of the following:
A pre-inspection to determine the amount of work necessary to
weatherize the home, in addition to checking heating appliances for safety and
efficiency.
Furnaces found to be unsafe will be repaired, if possible, or
replaced.
Infiltration work such as patching foundation, caulking and
weatherstripping windows and exterior doors; sealing or replacing broken glass.
Wall and attic insulation will be considered. This is dependent
upon the condition of wiring, roof condition, the amount of existing
insulation, type of wall construction and siding.
Gable or roof vents will be installed, as required.
A final inspection will be conducted to determine if all the work
has been completed.
