Weatherization Assistance
Weatherizing a home is a great way to save money each month. CEO’s Weatherization Assistance program offers FREE insulation and air-sealing services to eligible residents in Rensselaer County.
With increasing costs of utilities, by weatherizing your home, you can lower the amount of kilowatts and fuel used in your home, thus lowering your utility bill while also making your home safer and more comfortable. Lower monthly costs means more money in your pocket for other important things.
CEO’s energy auditors, certified by the Building Performance Institute (BPI), will travel to your home after your application has been approved. The auditor will perform a visual check of your home to spot areas of concern, like broken windows or holes in the walls. Next, they will use a “blower door” device to push air through the entire building. This helps our team to measure the air leakage of the home and where your heat is escaping.
