The federal Weatherization Assistance Program provides free home energy improvements to income-eligible households in Iowa and Wisconsin. Improvements are made at no cost to you by trained professionals.

How it works

If you qualify, trained professionals will visit your home and make energy-efficiency updates free of charge. These updates can include:

  • Insulation.
  • Air leak sealing.
  • Furnace repair or replacement (non-emergency).
  • Other services may be available.

How to apply

Contact your local community action agency to get started. You will need to provide:

  • Your Social Security number.
  • A copy of your most recent heating and electric bill.
  • Proof of your household's gross income for the past three months or calendar year.
