Program details

How it works

The North Carolina Weatherization Assistance Program provides free weatherization services to eligible households. The State Energy Office administers the program with local weatherization agencies, and households apply through their local service provider. The provider reviews the application, conducts a home energy assessment, prepares a scope of work, installs measures, and then completes a final inspection.

What the money covers

The official program page says services may include:

insulation
air sealing
heating and cooling system repair or replacement
health and safety repairs
other energy-efficiency upgrades

The program also says it helps households save energy, reduce utility bills, and stay safe in their homes.

The program page notes that the Weatherization Assistance Program also includes additional resources: the Heating and Air Repair and Replacement Program and the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, both of which are state-funded by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.

Timing and scope

The program operates statewide through local service providers. The DEQ page says the State Energy Office works with local agencies and that every county has service coverage through the provider network.
