Home Maintenance Program

The Home Maintenance Services Program has been providing home energy conservation services through the installation of Weatherization measures to low income families since 1975.  This program continues to be one of the best in our state.  Services are provided on the homes of income eligible persons who own their own home or who rent their home.

Services may include:

• Attic and Sidewall insulation
• Repair or replacement of windows and doors
• Furnace testing and cleaning
