  All eligible households are encouraged to apply immediately. If you received assistance through the program after September 30, 1994, you are not eligible. Weatherization activities always include an initial inspection to determine if the house will qualify for the services. Eligible dwellings selected for the program will receive a detailed inspection, energy audit, and combustion appliance testing (for equipment such as hot water heaters, furnaces, and other gas fired-heaters). Services may include: Air-sealing and minor repairs; attic insulation to R-38, and sidewall insulation.
Several new services have been added to the program. Apply immediately and take advantage of the opportunities that will be made available due to the Stimulus Funding. Weatherization may help you save up to 32% on your utility expenses.
Contact the SEK-CAP office nearest you for a weatherization assistance program application or to receive additional information. There is no cost to eligible households associated with the services available through the Weatherization Assistance Program.
