Weatherization Assistance Program

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) reduces energy costs for low-income individuals by increasing the energy efficiency of their homes, while ensuring the health and safety of its occupants.

HOW IT WORKS......

SRC administers this program in suburban Hennepin County, focusing on services to the elderly, people with disabilities, families with children, and households with a high energy burden. If you qualify, our weatherization technicians will identify the most cost-effective, energy-saving measures for your home. This may include installing insulation, reducing air infiltration, performing heating tune-ups and modifications, and even replacing appliances for energy efficiency and safety, when appropriate. We educate our clients about the proper use and maintenance of the weatherization measures we install in their homes.

Energy audits and the resulting cost-effective measures performed are all free to clients enrolled in the Weatherization Assistance Program. To enroll, you must qualify for Energy Assistance.
