The Weatherization Assistance Program is a low-income energy efficiency program. Its purpose is to make the homes of low-income clients more energy efficient, thereby reducing clients' fuel bills and increasing their comfort. The program also provides important health and safety services to the clients it serves. 

​

Typical energy-saving measures include sealing air leaks, installing insulation in attics, walls and crawl spaces, tuning and upgrading heating systems, and installing low-cost energy conservation measures.

 

When a household applies for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, they are also applying for the Weatherization Program.

​

Funding for the program comes from the U.S. Department of Energy, the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, and Iowa's investor-owned utilities. West Central weatherizes between 140-155 homes a year in our service area.
