Weatherization Program

How it works

YVEDDI’s Weatherization Program provides home energy improvements at no charge to eligible households in its service area, which includes Surry County. The program is described as using state standards to promote good health and energy efficiency.

What the money covers

The official program page lists these measures:

• Weather-stripping
• Air infiltration reduction
• Attic insulation
• Floor insulation
• Wall insulation
• Blower door testing of the home
• Water heater insulation
• Pipe insulation
• LED bulbs
• Water conservation measures
• Other energy-saving measures

YVEDDI also says its Heating Air Repair and Replacement Program (HARRP) is used in conjunction with Weatherization. HARRP can:

• Repair or replace an existing heating system
• Test for carbon monoxide
• Perform tune-ups

Timing and availability

The page does not state a closing date, application window, or funding cap. It presents the program as an ongoing service.

Notes for homeowners

Although this is not a wildfire-specific hardening program, several covered measures can improve overall resilience and reduce vulnerability to heat loss and air leakage. The official page does not describe wildfire-specific materials such as vents, roofing, or defensible-space work.
