Free repairs for a warmer home.

What it can include

After a free home energy check, the work may include:

• Heating (boiler) repairs.
• Insulation and sealing drafts around windows and doors.
• Carbon monoxide detectors and gas safety checks.
• A new refrigerator or energy-saving light bulbs, if the home needs them.

On average, weatherized homes save about $372 a year on energy (U.S. Department of Energy).

How to start

• Apply for energy assistance and tell us you own your home.
• PACO's Weatherization team calls you, helps with the application and sets up the home energy check.
• Renting? Ask us about your building.
