Home Energy Savings Program
"A young family applied for weatherization services. They are a family of 4, Dad, Mom, with a 1 year old baby and a 4 year old child. They own their own home and both work but struggling to make ends meet. They did not have the extra money to make the needed repairs or insulate the attic and a sliding glass door. The cost of materials alone is over $1,500.00. To contract it out would be nearly double the material cost.
Their home was drafty and cold, and they use a fireplace to heat the home.
CAA insulated the dwelling attic, replaced a sliding glass door in the living room that was falling apart, and completed weather stripping to another door and installed other weatherization measures to the home.
Since the work was completed, the Mom called our office to offer her thanks and appreciation. She reported her home is no longer drafty and cold, and stays warm."
