Tri-County Weatherization

Home Weatherization

Wasco, Sherman, Hood River

NeighborImpact’s Weatherization program provides free retrofit repair services which can include adding insulation, sealing leaky ducts and repairing heating systems for income-qualified clients. Weatherization staff conduct an on-site energy audit, a four-hour activity for evaluating and documenting the existing condition of your home. This determines which measures will save you the most money on your utility bill.

The program is available to income-eligible clients in Wasco, Sherman and Hood River counties. Clients can be renters or homeowners and live in mobile homes or stick built homes. Income guidelines for program eligibility are listed below.

For weatherization services in Crook, Deschutes, Jefferson counties or the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, visit the Central Oregon weatherization webpage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the process look like?

  1. An application is completed and approved.
  2. Applicant receives information about an energy education course.
  3. An audit is done on your home to examine what, if any, home improvements can be made to save the most energy.
  4. Weatherization work begins, where our contractors install recommended improvements based on the audit.
  5. An auditor will examine your home again to measure energy improvements.

How can I make the process go faster for me?

Because of the scope of work that is done, weatherization can be a longer process. Some things you can do to make sure it runs smoothly are:

  • Ensure that your initial application is complete with all required supplemental documents included.
  • Ensure that you can be reached by phone, and that your voicemail box is set up properly.
  • Ensure that you check your mail regularly.

I would like a specific weatherization repair; can the weatherization team make that happen?

During the audit, feel free to let the auditor know if you have a specific concern. We cannot promise any specific repairs until an audit is completed.
