What Does Weatherization Do?

Join our Housing Director, Justin Walls, as he gives us a tour of the Weatherization Assistance Program Energy Education Trailer.

He shows us some of the factors weatherization looks at as well as some of the energy solutions they employ.

Did you know one way Weatherization improves the comfort of your home is by testing furnace efficiency and then making repairs or replacements as necessary?

Justin shows us how Weatherization staff evaluate the energy efficiency of furnaces.

Weatherization evaluates energy efficiency, health, and safety in the whole home, including in the crawl space! Then measures including spray foam and vapor barrier may be installed to improve comfort and save residents money.
