Program Description
The Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP), funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, provides technical and financial assistance to help low-income residents reduce their energy bills by making their homes more energy efficient. WAP performs energy audits and installs audit-recommended energy efficiency measures to help families maintain energy-efficient, safe and healthy homes. In the District, WAP is administered through selected Subgrantees that hire local contractors to install the energy efficiency measures recommended by the energy audit.
Typical weatherization measures may include: insulation, duct sealing, heating and cooling systems repairs or replacement, air infiltration mitigation; and reducing electric base load consumption through measures such as energy efficient lighting and appliances.
