Home weatherization assistance
Having a home that’s uncomfortable — too cold or too hot — and having high energy bills are usually the results of a home that’s not properly protected from the weather. For example, when your home has unsealed air leaks that allow heated air to escape, your heater has to work longer and harder to keep your home, and the people in it, comfortable. The solution to this problem is called weatherization. It’s the process of protecting your entire home so that the air you heat stays where you want it: inside your home.
The Home Weatherization Assistance program is a partnership between PSE, federal and state funding sources. It’s a way for us to connect our income-qualified customers to the local agencies that can assess your home and provide free, whole-home upgrades to help lower your monthly energy bill.

What is the process like?
The Home Weatherization Assistance program is not administered through PSE. It is administered through county agencies. Our agency partners are the ones who decide if you qualify. They will walk you through every step of the process and keep you informed along the way.
How long does it take?
Wait times for the Home Weatherization Assistance program can be long due to program popularity and demand. In some cases, you may need to wait several months. We understand that’s a long time, but we assure you it’s definitely worth the wait!
What do I receive through the program?
Once you have qualified and it is your turn to be served by the program, it begins with an in-home assessment by professional contractors employed by your local agency. They will conduct a home assessment to determine how best to weatherize your home and possibly upgrade equipment that is old or inefficient. The list of upgrades you could potentially receive is extensive and could result in thousands of dollars of free home improvements. Past customers have received upgrades for many parts of their home that made them much more comfortable and lowered their bills.
