Home Weatherization Program

The Weatherization Assistance Program provides free weatherization services to qualified Washtenaw County residents. The program is implemented through Washtenaw County in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and is designed to help residents lower their utility bills. We perform a free energy audit and based on the results of that audit, we provide eligible repairs on the home for free. Homeowners and renters that meet the eligibility requirements are welcome to apply. 

Services

Free home improvements may include:

  • Insulation in the attic, walls and crawl-spaces
  • Furnace and water heater inspections and repairs
  • Caulking around drafty windows and doors
  • Inspections and replacements for inefficient refrigerators
  • Weather-stripping around doors and attic accesses
