Couleecap Energy Services and Home Weatherization

How it works

Couleecap provides weatherization services at no cost to eligible households. The program is funded through the Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program (WHEAP) and is designed to help people and families reduce energy use, lower utility bills, and live more comfortably year-round.

What the money covers

Weatherization services may include:

• insulating attics and sidewalls
• sealing air leaks
• inspecting or repairing furnaces
• replacing inefficient appliances such as older water heaters, refrigerators, and freezers

Who it serves

Services are available to both homeowners and renters.

How to apply

The first step is to apply for WHEAP. Once you are approved, your home may be selected for weatherization services. If you are eligible, a member of Couleecap’s Energy Services team will contact you directly.

Timing and prioritization

If you received WHEAP support during the current heating season, which the page defines as October 1 through May 15, you may qualify for weatherization services. Homes are prioritized for weatherization based on the State of Wisconsin’s High Energy Users Priority list.

Funding and program context

The page says these services are funded by the Wisconsin Department of Administration, Division of Energy, Housing & Community Resources (DEHCR) through WHEAP. It also identifies Home Energy Plus as a statewide initiative that includes WHEAP, the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP), the Home Energy Plus HVAC Program, and the Water Conservation Program.
