What is Weatherization?
Weatherization is the process of making your home more energy-efficient by implementing a range of improvements. These improvements may include insulation installation, air sealing, weather-stripping, duct sealing, and other energy-saving measures.
By addressing areas of energy loss, weatherization helps create a thermal barrier, preventing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. It enhances your home's energy performance and reduces reliance on heating and cooling systems, leading to long-term cost savings.

Investing in weatherization offers numerous benefits for homeowners, including:
Lower energy bills through reduced energy consumption.
Improved indoor comfort by minimizing drafts and temperature fluctuations.
Enhanced indoor air quality by reducing air leaks and improving ventilation.
