Activity 2

Weatherization is an energy efficiency program designed to reduce heating and cooling cost for low-income families who reside in single-family and mobile homes. Over the last decade, the program has continued to expand and evolve as weatherization providers adopted the whole-house approach whereby you treat the house as a single energy-consuming system. Professionally trained weatherization specialists perform on-site home energy audits using state of the art diagnostic equipment to identify outside draft; inspect and test combustion appliances; air seal ducts, holes and cracks; insulate attic, sidewall, floor, and hot water heater; install base-load measures for electricity reduction; and other minor repairs.the program provides services to the elderly, disabled households with high-energy burdens and families with children in the upper savannah region(greenwood, laurens, edgefield, abbeville, mccormick, saluda)in addition to newberry, anderson, oconee and pickens counties. Applicants are assisted on a first-come, first serve basis and must be income eligible to qualify for weatherization assistance based on current federal poverty income guidelines. In addition, applicants are placed on a waiting list based on county and date of application. Applicants are notified in writing when their home has been selected from the waiting list.
