WEATHERIZATION
helps reduce energy costs;
conserves energy;
increases comfort in the home;

and provides jobs.
HOW DOES THE PROGRAM WORK?
1. An application is submitted to the local service provider to
determine program eligibility;
2. An energy audit of the home is conducted to identify needs;
3. The home is weatherized; and
4. Home is inspected to assure quality of work completed.
WHAT SERVICES ARE INCLUDED?

sealing of cracks and holes to reduce heat loss;
insulation of attics and walls;
heating system repairs or replacement;
providing ecient lighting and refrigeration;
window and/or outside door repair or replacement;
minor repairs which are needed to ensure maximum eciency of
the weatherization services performed; and

WHO DOES THE WORK?
Program services are delivered through NYS Homes and Community
Renewal’s (HCR) statewide network of local service providers who
may use their own licensed crews or hire local private contractors to
perform the work.
WHAT IS THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIALS USED?
HCR requires providers to purchase and use materials that meet state

HCR’s Weatherization Assistance Program is funded by the US Depart-
ment of Energy. In addition, HCR receives funds for Weatherization ac-
tivities from the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program funded
by the US Department of Health and Human Services through the NYS
