Weatherization is provided through a grant program funded by the Bonneville Power Administration, Clark Public Utilities, Department of Energy, Department of Health and Human Services, and Washington State Energy Match Maker that benefits homeowners, landlords and tenants. Primary focus is to install cost effective measures for energy conservation and address health and safety concerns.

Eligibility

Whether you own or rent, live in a single-family home, multifamily housing complex, or a mobile home, you can apply for assistance. If you rent, you must get written permission from your landlord before weatherization services can be performed. To qualify, clients must meet current established Federal income eligibility guidelines.

The weatherization process

An energy audit is performed by a professionally trained weatherization specialist to determine the best energy conservation measures for your home based on house needs and occupant life style. This individual will meet with you and other household members to explain how the weatherization crews will conduct the work. Ask any questions you might have at this time. Throughout the weatherization process, the health and safety of you and your family remain a priority.

Following weatherization, an inspector will return to conduct a quality control inspection and assure client satisfation. Some typical weatherization work that may be done to your home includes the following:

Insulating the attic, walls, floor, water heater, and exposed pipes

Providing ventilation fans, including electric, attic, ceiling or whole house fans.

Stopping air infiltration by weather stripping, caulking around windows and doors.

Minor home repairs which protect insulation measures.

Tune up, repair heating unit; in conjunction with other weatherization measurers.

Indoor Air Quality: Test homes for indoor air pollution, mitigate problems and provide education concerning indoor air problems and risks.
