About Weatherization
Weatherization involves conducting an energy assessment to identify the most cost effective energy improvements that need to be performed on a dwelling, and then making the improvements at no cost to the household. Our program is designed to help those who meet federally-outlined income requirements in conserving energy and therefore enabling them to better cope with fuel cost increases and other household expenses.
About HARRP
HARRP, or Heating and Air Repair or Replacement Program, is a program that enables eligible households to have heating and air conditioning systems inspected, tuned, repaired, or replaced, when needed.
