We believe the ability to pay heating and cooling bills should not prevent anyone from being safe and comfortable in their home. Our Energy Assistance Program helps individuals pay their heating and cooling bills, whether it’s electricity, gas, oil, propane, wood, or wood pellets.

Weatherization is the modification of buildings and homes to become more energy efficient through conservation measures such as air sealing and adding insulation. All homes are analyzed with the "building as a system" diagnostic approach which examines the house as one working unit to ensure safety and maximize energy efficiency. Weatherization improvements create a more safe and comfortable living space as well as lower utility bills.
