Home Weatherization Program

Washtenaw County offices are closed until June 1 due to COVID-19, and all non-essential home improvement projects have been put on hold. If you are having a furnace or water heater emergency, please call 734-544-3008 and leave a voicemail. We will address your issue as soon as possible. 

We are still accepting applications during the closure.

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
