Weatherization Division
The Weatherization Division provides income-eligible households in Adams and Arapahoe Counties with free conservation measures to help them conserve energy and save money on heating and cooling bills.
Weatherization is a process of installing energy conservation measures and energy-efficient appliance upgradesin a home to achieve long-term energy and cost-savings. Weatherization can also improve the comfort of a home by helping to
moderate indoor temperatures during the changing seasons.
Families who have weatherized their homes tell us they save anywhere from 10 to 30% on their energy usage.
Our Services
1. Energy Audit: Our certified auditors start with a free energy audit of your home to identify conservation measures that will make your
home more energy efficient.
2. Work Plan: Based on the information obtained during the audit, we will create a work plan of services that will offer the best long-range
benefits to make your home more energy-efficient and produce cost-savings.
3. Weatherization: Our team of qualified weatherization technicians will come to your home and provide weatherization services that may include:
-
- Sealing major air leaks;
- Adding insulation to attics, walls and crawl spaces;
- Performing health and safety assessments on furnaces and water heaters;
- Making necessary repairs to furnaces and water heaters;
- Replacing appliances with high efficiency appliances; and,
- Installing high-efficiency compact fluorescent light bulbs.
4. Education: Our team will also provide tips and information on steps that your household can take to conserve more energy in all seasons.
5. Inspection: Once the work is complete, our inspector will review the home and conduct a final energy audit to determine the impacts of
the installed energy conservation measures.
The program can weatherize owner-occupied homes and rental properties, including single-family houses, mobile homes and multi-family units up to a four-plex. Weatherization
is a one-time service.
All services and materials are provided at no cost to eligible families through Arapahoe County’s Weatherization Division.

in the homes of residents, are required to undergo a background check before joining our team.
