Description:
Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP)
This program improves the energy efficiency of homes by using the most advanced technologies, testing equipment and protocols available in the housing industry. The energy conservation resulting from the program helps our country reduce its dependence on foreign oil and decreases the cost of energy for the families in need while improving the health and safety of their homes.
Limited Weatherization Program is for households that cannot receive regular weatherization due to the home's condition or the project not being cost effective. It also improves the energy efficiency
of homes by providing lighting, refigerator and freezer upgrades for households that do not receive standard weatherization services.
Emergency Furnace Repair and Replacement Program is for homes with furnaces that are not working or are unsafe.
Eligibility: To receive the benefits of the weatherization programs, household eligibility is first established by the Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program (WHEAP) provider in the county where the applicant resides. The WHEAP system verifies the household income level. If a household's level is less than 60% of the state median income level, the household is income eligible.
