Our Weatherization Program ensures families' well-being through cost-effective home improvements and energy audits. The critical services that Weatherization provides are offered free of charge to clients. Repairs and upgrades decrease energy costs, increase energy-efficiency and improve indoor air-quality.
Utah Community Action’s Weatherization program helps households lower energy bills, improve indoor air quality and increase comfort and safety in homes year-round. Weatherizing a home involves conducting a home inspection and a computerized energy audit, identifying cost-effective energy improvements that can be performed on the dwelling, and then making those improvements. The Weatherization program also provides energy education for residents so they may continue using energy efficiently.

Examples of typical weatherization repairs: replacing incandescent lighting; repairing windows, doors, and furnaces; carbon monoxide testing; wall, floor, ceiling, and duct insulation.
Weatherization is not a remodeling or rehabilitation program. The amount that can be spent on each dwelling is limited, and repairs are made only to improve the energy efficiency of a home, not to improve the home’s capital value.
Examples of typical non-allowable requests: painting; roof repairs; siding replacements; installing storm windows or storm doors (unless shown cost-effective for a specific home).
