Other Information

Specialization

  • Older adults
Helps income-eligible homeowners age 60 and older make energy efficiency improvements to their homes. Services may include:
  • Weatherization
  • Energy-efficient equipment upgrades
When your application has been approved, you will receive a free home energy audit. This will help to determine which improvements may be available through the program. You will then work directly with an assigned contractor to schedule your improvements. This program does not assist with paying current energy bills, but helps lower future heating costs, through efficiency improvements.
