Introduction
What is
Weatherization?
Weatherization is the process of preparing your home to better withstand the elements of weather, like heat, cold, wind, and moisture. It involves making improvements to your home’s structure and systems to keep it more comfortable and energy-efficient throughout the year. This can include things like adding insulation to keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, sealing up any gaps or cracks where air can leak in or out, and upgrading the heating and cooling systems to work more efficiently. Essentially, weatherization helps to create a more comfortable living environment while also reducing energy waste and lowering utility bills.
