WEATHERIZATION

WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

Weatherization makes homes more energy efficient and reduces utility costs. Weatherizing a home involves installing a wide variety of energy efficiency measures such as attic and wall insulation, weatherstripping around doors and windows, and replacing appliances such as furnaces and refrigerators with more energy efficient models. Each home is assessed individually and the measures that are installed depend on guidance provided by the US Department of Energy and the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs.

HVAC Repair & Replacement

Excessive heat and extreme cold can lead to health issues that are dangerous to vulnerable households with members that are under age 5, over the age of 60, or people with disabilities. The HVAC Repair & Replacement program prioritizes vulnerable households to provide repair or replacement of furnaces and air conditioners. Eligible households may also receive startup services in the spring and fall when the weather changes.

Eligibility for Weatherization and HVAC Repair/Replacement:

Priority is given to households with members age 5 and younger, age 60 and older, and people with disabilities.
The homeowner must provide consent for the program.
Some homes may not qualify due to their physical condition.
