ARRA Weatherization Assistance Program
The DOE-ARRA Weatherization Assistance Program is designed to provide energy conservation improvements for the homes of income eligible households in Sussex, Warren, Hunterdon, and SomersetCounties. The weatherization measures to be undertaken will reduce the high energy burden of eligible households by lowering home heating costs, eliminating heat loss, and minimizing cold air infiltration. A comprehensive energy audit will identify the greatest areas of heat loss and mechanical system/electric base load efficiencies to prioritize tasks to reduce energy consumption and increase seasonal comfort. Based on the findings of the instrumentated energy audit, a work scope will be developed that will address heating efficiency measures, infiltration measures, conduction measures, and health & safety concerns.
Eligibility
Applications are evaluated by household size, monthly gross income, heating bills and other documents.
