Standard Weatherization

ACCAP conducts thorough inspections in Armstrong County residences to help reduce heat loss and cut down on energy expenses. Every household undergoes a comprehensive energy audit followed by an informative educational session tailored to enhance energy efficiency. The audit will include a walk-through evaluation, furnace testing and evaluation, blower door infiltration testing, combustion appliance zone testing, etc. The following measures may be performed on a home depending upon the need:

• Air infiltration measures

• Attic insulation and ventilation

• Wall and/or floor insulation

• Pipe wrap

• Incidental repairs

• Electric baseload measures

There is no charge for Weatherization services to the eligible client. The applicant is the client who is the resident of the home.  We can weatherize homes of owners and renters. 

Eligibility for the program is based entirely upon the income of the applicant, who must be at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. 

In order to weatherize a home, it must be dry and free of standing water, mold, or mildew. The home must be free of health and safety issues such as structural damage, animal feces, vermin infestation, excessive hoarding, and broken or open sewers. If any of the above problems are apparent, and/or if the furnace is in need of replacement, the home will be deferred until the problems are resolved.
