Energy Outreach Colorado - Weatherization

10th Consecutive Year

2010 Partner of the Year

In cooperation with Xcel Energy and Energy Outreach Colorado, the Governor's Energy Office funds the Governor’s Energy Office Weatherization Program. The program provides cost-effective energy efficient upgrades to qualifying Coloradans. It has weatherized more than 60,000 Colorado homes since 1976, completing more than 4,000 homes each year.

Weatherization services include:

Comprehensive energy audit
Attic, wall and crawl space insulation
Air leakage reduction
Forced air furnace efficiency assessment
Appliance safety inspection
High efficiency lighting survey
Inspection for other potential safety problems

Weatherization benefits include the following:

Lower utility bills by approximately 20%, with one in four homes saving 37%
Reduced energy consumption
Increased overall comfort and safety of the home
Additionally, weatherization impacts communities by:
Reducing low-income customers' need for direct cash assistance for utility bills
Helping utilities meet Colorado's increasing demand for energy
Creating local jobs
Reducing pollution

Eligible housing types include single-family houses, mobile homes and multifamily units - both renters and homeowners. Individuals who receive benefits from a number of low-income assistance programs, such as LEAP, SSI, TANF and COAP, automatically qualify to receive Governor’s Energy Office Weatherization Program services.

To find out if you or someone you know is eligible for no-cost weatherization services, call toll-free 1-866-HEAT-HELP (1-866-432-8435). Your local service agency can answer questions about the program and assist with the application process.
