How did your house, hold up to the winter weather this year? If you had issues and need some upgrades, but just can’t afford it, there may be an alternatives for you. Some homes in the area were much more energy efficient thanks to the ECKAN weatherization assistance program. The program provides repairs and upgrades that improve the comfort, health, and safety of the home. Weatherization services can cut a home’s energy consumption by as much as 1/3. Income eligible families receive an energy audit of their home that identifies customized areas for cost effective improvements. Those improvements are then made by professional crews and contractors, free of charge to the home owner.
