Weatherize Plainfield & Cornish

How it works

The town page describes Weatherize Plainfield Cornish 2020 as a community program from the Energy Committees to help residents save money, stay warm, and reduce energy use by weatherizing their homes. It says the process starts with identifying and hiring a specialized contractor who will perform an energy audit to assess the home's energy efficiency.

What the money covers

The page says weatherization includes physical home improvements such as insulation and air sealing. It specifically mentions basement and attic areas as common focus areas. The page also says NHSaves rebates are available for the leakiest homes.

Amounts and matching

The page does not provide a local grant amount. It says NHSaves estimates efficiency upgrades can save 20% or more on annual energy costs.

How to apply

The page instructs homeowners to start by hiring a specialized contractor for an energy audit. It also says local volunteers help residents through the process.

Timing and deadlines

The page says there is a backlog of weatherization work and recommends scheduling an energy audit by Feb. 10 and signing a project contract by March 31. It also notes that NHSaves funding is limited and future funding is uncertain.

Program context

The page explains that NHSaves is a collaboration of New Hampshire's electric and natural gas utilities delivering incentives and support statewide.
