Weatherization FAQs

1.  How do I get on the list for weatherization?/How do I apply for weatherization?

a.  Once you apply for the Energy Assistance program, we will determine if you qualify for weatherization. If you qualify, you will be put on a waiting list.

2.  When will I receive weatherization?/How long will it be before I am called to receive weatherization?

a.  We cannot predict a time period to receive weatherization. Once you are placed on our waiting list and we get to your name on the list, we will set up an energy audit. It is important that you continue to apply for the Energy Assistance program each year in order to remain on the list if we have not called you yet.
