Weatherization services, helping families save energy and stay warm.

Winters in Northern New York can be harsh, especially for families dealing with high energy bills caused by inefficient homes.

​

For many residents, especially seniors on fixed incomes, upgrading insulation or improving heating systems isn't financially possible. As a result, they're often left struggling to stay warm through yet another cold winter.

 

The good news? Help is available. Lewis County Opportunities' Weatherization service supports eligible families by offering energy-saving home repairs, along with education on energy conservation and heating system maintenance.

 

Our services include:

  • High-tech energy audits

  • Air sealing and insulation

  • Heating system efficiency improvements​

​

These upgrades not only help keep your home warmer in the winter, but also cooler during the summer-making your home more comfortable and affordable year-round.

​

What to Expect When You Apply

When a family applies for Weatherization services, a certified Building Analyst will visit the home to conduct an energy assessment. This includes:

  • Testing for gas leaks, air drafts, and the efficiency of the heating system

  • Measuring the home's square footage

  • Inspecting windows, doors, and insulation quality

  • Checking major appliances like refrigerators for energy efficiency

​

The data is entered into a special computer system to determine the home's eligibility and priority level for services.

If approved and all requirements are met, weatherization work will begin as soon as the crew completes prior projects. Depending on the size of the home, work can take as little as one day or up to one week.
