Weatherization Assistance Program assists low income persons to minimize energy related costs and fuel usage through home improvement measures. Program provides an energy audit to help determine the weatherization measures that need to be installed to make the dwelling more energy efficient. Typical measures may include heating system tune-ups and repairs, blower door guided air-sealing, attic and sidewall insulation and health and safety inspections. Households in Fairfield and New Haven Counties apply through Center for EcoTechnology (CET).
