What is Weatherization?

  • Weatherization is a program to help reduce heating and energy costs for low income families by improving the energy efficiency of their homes.

  • Through Weatherization you can cut your heating bills, save energy, and have a warmer home.

SCCAP works with Utility companies under the Low Income Usage Reduction Programs (LIURP) sometimes referred to as the WARM program. SCCAP participates with the program listed below and you must apply through for these programs, through your utility company. 

Eligibility is based on income and energy usage and varies by company.
