Home weatherization services are available to income-qualified residents living in El Dorado and Alpine counties to help reduce high-energy costs.

An estimated $1.5 million in federal stimulus American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds will allow El Dorado County to expand its Home Weatherization Assistance Program to serve more households during the next two years.

Weatherization measures may include window repair, ceiling fans, weather-stripping, attic insulation and/or minor home repairs. An individual home assessment will determine what measures are necessary and appropriate.
