Weatherization Program
Providing weatherization services to reduce energy costs for low-income households and to conserve energy for our community.
Why Weatherize?
ADVOCAP's weatherization services help to reduce energy costs and conserve energy. Program participants may save money through reduced energy consumption. Homes are made warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, thanks to weatherization services.
