Weatherization


What is it?

Michigan’s Weatherization Program is a FREE federally funded, low income residential energy conservation program. The goal of the program is to reduce utility bills, which makes the home safe and more comfortable in any season.

How does it work?

We start with an over the phone home assessment and income qualification, which is 200% or less of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. Then, an inspection is done to determine the scope of the project. If your home is selected, then you would fill out an application and the process begins. The whole process can take some time, so don’t delay contacting us!

What services does weatherization include?

  • Complete home Energy Audit with blower door test            

  • Wall, attic, or foundation insulation                                          

  • Air Sealing

  • Repair of minor attic and wall leaks prior to insulating
