Purpose
The AACOG Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) is designed to help low-income people, particularly the elderly and handicapped, overcome the high cost of energy through the installation of energy conservation measures at no cost to the applicant. Although the program does not address major home repairs, it can help lower the amount of energy used in a home by enhancing the structure's thermal boundry.  Like a styrofoam cup, the house will stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.  The less energy it takes to heat or cool the house, the more money is saved. 

Qualification for Weatherization Services is a two step process.  The applicant's total household income must meet federal income eligibility requirements AND the home itself must qualify in terms of structural soundness (no major roof repairs, plumbing leaks, foundation problems, faulty electrical wiring or similar structural issues).  

The Weatherization Process  Complete an application and provide support documents. AACOG performs assessment and energy audit of the home Installation of approved weatherization measures (e.g., attic / wall insulation, replacement or repair of heating and air conditioning equipment, etc.) A final inspection to assure work quality completeness and customer satisfaction
