Utilities are one of a household’s greatest expenses. For low-income families living in older homes, money could be leaking out of the cracks. Since 1980, the HomeWise Weatherization Program has provided FREE energy efficiency improvements to income-qualified homes by decreasing energy bills, increasing comfort, and saving money.

 
The HomeWise team provides energy efficiency testing of your home, and will hire specialty contractors to install the following possible type of improvements:

• Insulation
• Duct and air sealing
• Ductless Heat Pumps (electrically-heated homes)
• Replace hot water heaters, upon our inspection, if they are failing, leaking, or rusted
• Furnace repair or replacement
• New kitchen and bathroom fans
• New energy-efficient refrigerators
• Oil furnace conversion to electric heat pump system (must live within Seattle city limits)

If you are a renter in a building (duplex, triplex, or four-plex) where over half the tenants are income-qualified, you can work with your building owner to receive free weatherization. Visit the Multifamily Weatherization page to learn more.
