Not only does the Weatherization program create green jobs, it helps our neighbors lower their energy bills and live more comfortably.  Since 1976, the Weatherization program has improved 6.3 million homes in the U.S.A.  It offers new or repaired furnaces, hot water heaters, wall/attic insulation and door weather stripping/caulking services to millions of low income and handicapped families.  There are 38 million qualified households nationwide.

 

The average low income household spends 17% of its total income on energy.  After an energy audit is performed and weatherization services are provided, the average household will experience a $350 savings on their energy bill in the first year.  This savings buys much needed food, medicine and children’s clothes.  Weatherization is also good for the planet.  The average weatherization project will result in 1.8 fewer tons of dangerous carbon emission.  We employ safe weatherization practices and look for unsafe lead and asbestos conditions.

 

For every $1 of taxpayer money invested, the weatherization program creates $1.67 of benefits.  We work in weatherization because it works for you. If you have time, check out the links provided.
