What
is the Weatherization Program?
In partnership with local utilities, HACSA provides free Weatherization services
to income-eligible home-owners and renters in Lane County. Seniors and
persons with disabilities are targeted as first priority.
Weatherization measures designed to reduce energy consumption may
include:
- attic, floor, wall and HVAC duct insulation
- replacement windows
- weather stripping
- caulking
- diagnostic testing
- minor related repairs
Installation is completed by licensed and bonded
private contractors. Job costs are
paid by funding from federal grants and participating utilities.
What are the benefits of Weatherization?
While everyone's home is different, a typical household saves about $200
a year in energy costs through Weatherization.
Weatherization also improves the comfort of your home
by retaining warmth in the winter and improving circulation in the
summer.
By replacing damaged windows or loosely-fitting doors,
Weatherization can also improve a home's security.
Who is eligible?
Homeowners and renters in Lane County whose annual
household incomes are below these
income limits are eligible.
