Save Energy, Safeguard Health and Safety
Weatherization agencies install cost-effective measures to reduce home energy consumption in hot
and cold climates.
- Weatherization technicians use energy audits to determine which energy efficiency measures are most appropriate and cost-effective for each home.
- Typical measures include installing insulation, reducing air infiltration, performing tune-ups and repairs to heating and cooling systems, replacing appliances to improve efficiency and safety, and replacing incandescent lighting with compact fluorescent bulbs.
- Weatherization crews also address energy-related health and safety conditions, particularly carbon monoxide and combustion safety.
