The Weatherization Assistance Program is the nation’s largest residential energy efficiency program, designed to improve efficiency, household safety, and to educate the public. Trained inspectors and crews with state-of-the-art equipment aim to reduce the cost of energy for low-income families and children, the elderly and the disabled.
The goal of the Weatherization Program is to keep Kentuckians warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and safe all year long. This is done through education, testing and evaluation, repairs, insulation, etc.
The program does not rehabilitate homes, just replace doors and windows, or perform major home repairs such as roofs, floors, plumbing or electrical systems. It also does not include home additions, paint, carpet or lead-based paint and asbestos abatements.
