Weatherization

 SUPPORTING the CREATION of SAFE and AFFORDABLE COMMUNITIES

Northern Kentucky CAC’s Weatherization Assistance Program helps residents save energy and lower utility bills. Weatherization makes homes more energy efficient, so they can stay warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

 How the Program Works

First, complete an application with help from NKCAC’s Weatherization Specialist. Once your application is accepted, trained inspectors check your home. If weatherization can reduce your energy use, they will recommend improvements. Insured HVAC and weatherization professionals will then do the work to make your home more energy efficient. 

 Inspections usually include:

• Testing for gas leaks, carbon monoxide, and other health and safety problems
• Checking that furnaces, stoves, water heaters, and other fuel-burning appliances are working safely
• Finding air leaks and checking for smoke alarms

 If weatherization can reduce your energy use, they will recommend improvements. Insured HVAC and weatherization professionals will then do the work to make your home more energy efficient. 

 Work that might be recommended:

• Sealing drafts
• Adding ventilation
• Repairing or replacing heaters and water heaters
• Fixing windows and doors
• Adding insulation
• Installing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors

Services are provided to qualified low-income families in Boone, Campbell, Carroll, Gallatin, Grant, Owen, Kenton and Pendleton Counties
