WEATHERIZATION

WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

The Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) provides many Northeast Iowans with the means to remain in their homes in

safety, comfort, and affordability.


MORE ABOUT THE PROGRAM…

Weatherization services include a cost effectiveness energy audit, air leakage checks, insulation, and all combustion appliances inspection for repair and⁄or replacement. NEICAC’s own crews provide all but appliance and furnace repair services. Certified area contractors and vendors do the authorized appliance and furnace work and agency staff will complete a quality control final inspection.

Besides their regular efforts, the Weatherization staff also administers contracts with the investor owned utilities of the area to install low-cost, energy efficient measures in eligible homes, such as LED lighting, low-flow faucet aerators, showerheads, and hot water heater measures.

NEICAC’s Weatherization Program Director, Energy Auditor and Crew are all lead safe certified-any work completed in homes is with the client’s safety in mind. WAP is important to all that receive it, but more so if someone in your home is elderly, disabled or a young child under 6 years old. These individuals are especially at risk for life threatening illness or death if their home is too cold in the winter or too hot in the summer.

Because NEICAC takes many more applications each year than we receive money to repair homes (4000 applications and approximately 100 homes weatherized), all applications are ranked by fuel usage. Referred to in the previous paragraph, at-risk clients are given additional priority points to ensure their homes are serviced first.

Embrace Iowa

“Embrace Iowa helped our family be getting us a stove. The stove we had was hazardous. When we would cook on it, it would stink the whole house up. Also, it leaked underneath the stove. That stove was so small that my two year old son could see inside the pan without standing on anything. Now, with our new stove we can cook without smelling anything or without cleaning up a leaky mess. Thanks so much for our new stove. We really appreciated it.”
