Is your home ready for weatherization?
Many homes damaged by Hurricane Helene need minor repairs (like a roof patch or structural fix) before they can qualify for rebates for comprehensive energy-saving upgrades. This program covers those pre-weatherization repairs!
Eligible projects will include:
- Roof, wall, ceiling, floor, plumbing, and/or electrical repairs needed for effective weatherization
- Remediation of moisture intrusion
- Servicing or installing new energy-efficient HVAC systems and programmable thermostats
- Upgrading or reinforcing the building envelope
- Servicing or installing energy-efficient water heaters
- Implementing LED lighting
- Increasing indoor air quality by installing exhaust fans
- Installing smoke and/or carbon monoxide detectors
- Support for private insurance deductibles if the repair activities covered by insurance (beyond the deductible) qualify as eligible repairs under the program
