FREE weatherization for YOUR home

FREE Weatherization Can Help Lower Utility Bills (and you'll be surprised how many can qualify- check it out!)
  With cold weather on the way and the economic downturn continuing, many families are looking for ways to reduce home heating bills. It has become more and more difficult for families and senior citizens to pay the escalating costs. However, there is something though that they can do now to help lower bills.
  Weatherization provides a cost-effective permanent solution for reducing the heavy energy burden on low-income Americans. The Weatherization Program is also a priority of the federal economic stimulus plan to help make low-income households more energy efficient, so there is additional funding available.
  The Weatherization Assistance Program in Delaware County is administered by the Community Action Agency of Delaware County, Inc. (CAADC).  The program provides quality energy education and home conservation modifications up to $6,500. On average, the program reduces heating bills by 31%.  All services are free.
  “This program can make a real tangible difference immediately to those already on a strained budget, and continue to help them in the future,” said CAADC Chief Executive Officer Edward Coleman. “This is an excellent time to call and get fast service before winter arrives and the program gets very busy.”
  Annual income guidelines are: family of 1, $21,660; family of 2, $29,140; family of 3, $36,620; family of 4, $44,100; family of 5, $51,580; family of 6, $59,060.
  Delaware County renters and homeowners are eligible to apply as long as they have not had their homes weatherized since Sept., 1994 and meet income eligibility guidelines. To apply or for additional information, call CAADC at 610-521-8770.
