It’s Energy Awareness Month, and we’re celebrating 50 years of the Weatherization Assistance Program!

What can Weatherization do?

• Add insulation
• Seal air leaks and reduce drafts
• Repair or improve windows and doors
• Tune up, repair or replace heating systems
• Improve ventilation and indoor air quality

It all starts with a comprehensive energy audit to identify where your home may be losing energy. Learn more about SNAP Weatherization: snapwa.org/wx
