Cleco Power Wise Income-Qualified Weatherization

How it works

Cleco says its Power Wise Income-Qualified Weatherization program provides a home energy assessment and qualified measures on a first-come, first-served basis to qualified residential customers at no out-of-pocket cost. Cleco’s published weatherization materials for contractors show the program is an active residential weatherization offering and list approved weatherization contractors serving Acadia Parish.

What the money covers

Cleco states that Power Wise weatherization services may include:

• blown-in attic insulation
• air sealing
• duct sealing to reduce air leakage
• low-flow faucet aerators and shower heads

Cleco’s program manual also lists incentive rates for income-qualified residential weatherization measures, including ceiling insulation and air infiltration/duct sealing measures. The public customer page does not state a homeowner cash payment; instead, it describes the work as provided at no out-of-pocket cost.

Amounts and matching

Cleco does not publish a homeowner grant amount on the public customer-assistance page. The key homeowner-facing detail is that qualifying customers receive the assessment and qualified measures at no out-of-pocket cost.

How to apply

Cleco directs customers to its weatherization assessment registration form and customer-assistance pages. The form asks for the parish and other home information, and Cleco notes that if the dwelling is a multifamily home, five or more on-site assessments must be scheduled.

Timing and deadlines

The customer page says services are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The company also notes that available measures and incentives can be modified during the program year if needed to meet program goals or Louisiana Public Service Commission rules.
