Weatherization
SUPPORTING the CREATION of SAFE and AFFORDABLE COMMUNITIES
Northern Kentucky CAC’s Weatherization Assistance Program is part of the nation’s largest residential energy efficiency network. Trained inspectors with state-of-the art equipment aim to reduce the cost of energy for low-income families by professionally evaluating single family dwellings, multi-family dwellings, and mobile homes for safety and energy efficiency.
A typical evaluation includes:
- Testing for gas leaks, carbon monoxide, and other health and safety issues.
- Checking the safety and efficiency of furnaces, stoves, water heaters and other combustible appliances.
- Determining air infiltration sources and determining methods for air sealing and insulating the home as needed.
Once a home is evaluated, a work order, which outlines the work to be completed, is prepared. The work is done by highly trained and insured HVAC and Weatherization professionals.
Work may include:
- Sealing drafts, adding ventilation
- Chimney repairs
- Repairing or replacing heating equipment and water heaters, as needed.
- Repairing windows and doors.
- Insulating homes, as needed.
- Making minor repairs to homes for health and safety reasons.
- 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. Applicants must make an appointment with their local Neighborhood Center and provide the following information and documentation:
- Name, age, and social security numbers for all home occupants.
- Monthly income verification for all occupants.
- Energy bills from the last 12 months or a print out from your utility company.
- Proof of ownership of property to be weatherized.
