Weatherization
During the past 50 years, weatherization services have been provided nationwide at no cost to millions of low-income families and individuals. In Wisconsin, approximately 6,000 homes are weatherized each year. Western Dairyland has funding to weatherize 200 homes each year in our service area of Eau Claire, Buffalo, Trempealeau, Jackson and Clark counties.
Weatherization services vary with each home, depending on how it was built and its current condition. Standard weatherization services include installing attic and sidewall insulation, sealing major air leaks, repairing or replacing furnaces, caulking and/or repairing inefficient windows and doors, adding weather stripping, insulating hot water heaters, installing energy-efficient light bulbs and appliances, plus other energy-conserving activities.
