The U.S. Department of Energy's Weatherization Assistance Program funds free energy efficiency improvements for income-qualified households. DOE does not weatherize homes directly; it sends the money to each state, which delivers the work through a network of local agencies. You apply through your state's weatherization program and the local agency that serves your county.

Steps to apply

  1. On the DOE program page, find your state's weatherization program (the How to Apply / state contacts section).
  2. Confirm with the administrator that you meet the current rules: income at or below the program limit, usually automatic if you receive SSI, TANF, or energy assistance.
  3. Contact the local weatherization or community action agency that serves your county and complete its intake application.
  4. The agency does a free home energy audit, then installs the approved measures at no cost to you.
