Weatherization Assistance Program

The Weatherization Assistance Program provides weatherization services to qualified Oakland and Livingston County residents. The program is implemented through the counties we service in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy and is designed to help residents live in energy efficient and safe housing. We perform a free energy audit and provide eligible repairs on the home for homeowners and renters.

Benefits

The home is eligible if it does not require repairs outside of the scope of Weatherization. Services are free to those who qualify. Some eligible repairs installed by certified, licensed and insured contractors can include:
Insulation of attics, walls, and crawl spaces
Smoke and carbon monoxide detector evaluations
Furnace and water heater testing, repair or possible replacement
Refrigerator evaluation
