Downriver Community Conference’s Weatherization Program is a free energy program provided by the Department of Energy (DOE), and the State of Michigan, (DHS), servicing 20 Downriver communities. The program provides assistance through energy saving education, sidewall, and attic insulation, as well as other energy saving methods.
DCC’s inspectors and contractors are well-trained in complete home energy inspections, including health and safety issues, such as testing furnaces for carbon monoxide and gas leaks. Also, an important part of the inspection process has been “blower door” testing, which helps identify which energy saving measures should be employed.
In order to qualify for this program you must live within a designated service area and meet income eligibility requirements.
