Weatherization Program
Posted: Sat May 21, 2011 1:57 pm
I've benefited from the info on this site, so I wanted to share some great info in exchange.
We qualified for a federally-funded weatherization program that resulting in us getting wall and ceiling insulation, new furnace, pellet stove, storm windows, and refrigerator -- installed -- for free.
This is a boon for people who are struggling financially (like us). If you make less than twice the poverty level for your size family (or if you're already getting LEAP), you qualify. Everyone we dealt with was polite and professional, and the paperwork was minimal.
The furnace is so efficient that they use PVC pipes instead of metal for the exhaust, so no more $250/month propane charges!
Info is at http://www1.eere.energy.gov/wip/wap.html. I hope this helps others.
