This is a free, federally funded program that lowers your energy bills by improving your home's energy efficiency. If the administrator finds you eligible and has capacity, a local agency does a free home energy audit and installs measures like attic insulation, air sealing, and heating system repair at no cost to you. The Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development runs it through a network of local community action agencies, so you apply through the agency that serves your county.
Steps to apply
- Confirm with the administrator that you meet the current rules: you live in the home and your household income is within the program limit (commonly at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level; the administrator may apply categorical rules for SSI, TANF, or energy-assistance recipients; verify the current rule).
- Find the local weatherization or community action agency that serves your county using the local agency list at dced.pa.gov.
- Contact that agency and complete its intake application with your income, ownership, and household information.
- The agency schedules a free home energy audit to decide which measures your home needs.
- The approved energy efficiency measures are installed at no cost to you.
Documents you will likely need
- Proof of income for everyone in the household (recent pay stubs, last year's tax return, or benefit award letters), or proof that you receive SSI, TANF, or energy assistance.
- Proof you own or rent and live in the home (a deed, mortgage statement, or lease; renters need the owner's written permission).
- A recent utility bill for the home.
- A government-issued photo ID.
