Description:

The Kansas Weatherization Assistance Program reduces energy costs for low-income households by increasing the energy efficiency of their homes, while ensuring their health and safety. Weatherization improves the comfort of the home and reduces the utility bills. At no charge to the income eligible client, qualifying homes receive a comprehensive home energy audit. A customized work scope of qualifying improvement is created, and our network of professional crews and contractors complete the work at no cost. Weatherization services may include: sealing of drafts and air leaks, adding insulation, caulking/minor repair of windows and doors, installation of LED light bulbs, and other energy saving upgrades. Additionally, homes are assessed for energy related safety concerns such. Inefficient, non-functioning, or dangerous furnaces and heating systems are inspected for potential repair or replacement. Weatherization helps utility assistance, like LIEAP, go further but reducing those monthly utility bills.

The program operates and accepts applications year-round. Homeowners and renters are eligible. Single family, multifamily, manufactured, and mobile homes are eligible.

Hours:

8 am - 4:30 pm Mon - Fri.
