The Weatherization

Mission Statement:

               To reduce the energy costs for low-income families, particularly for the elderly, people with disabilities, and children, by improving the energy efficiency of their homes while ensuring their health and safety.

“We exist to provide, promote, and advocate energy conservation.”

• Middle income households spend  app. 5% of their annual income on home energy

• For low-income West Virginians, home energy is a crippling financial burden

  • 56,000 West Virginia households with income below 50% of the Federal Poverty Level pay 71.3% of their annual income simply for their home energy bills

• Typical measures include:

  • Heating system diagnostic testing, repair, tune-ups, and replacements

  • Duct sealing and insulation

  • Reducing air infiltration to acceptable levels

  • Attic insulation

  • Dense pack sidewall insulation

  • Other measures as identified, including electric baseload measures

Our goal is to educate individuals on ways to save energy while in turn becoming more self sufficient.
