WX for Homeowners
SEVCA’s Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) helps low-income households in reducing their heating costs and energy use. This support is offered through free services, available to those whose household income meets the program's income eligibility guidelines.
For single-family homeowners residing in their homes, these weatherization services are provided at no cost. However, landlords renting out single-unit homes to eligible tenants will be responsible for the costs associated with any necessary health and safety upgrades.
State-of-the-Art Energy Audit
Our experts will examine your insulation, windows and more to pinpoint where energy is going to waste. It not only enhances your comfort by keeping the cold out in winter but also makes your home more pleasant in the summer, while trimming down your utility bills.
Insulation
Enhancing your home's insulation is key to keeping warmth in during Vermont's cold winters, thereby reducing your heating costs. It's an essential and affordable upgrade that results in lower energy bills and a cozier home, offering an effective solution to keep your family comfortable.
Air Sealing
Air sealing is a simple yet effective way to plug hidden drafts, reducing chilly breezes inside your home and cutting heating expenses. This straightforward solution ensures a warmer, more comfortable home, offering lasting benefits for your family's comfort and budget in Vermont's brisk weather.
