We will help 60 families stay warm and healthy in Cedar, Iowa, and Johnson Counties over the next 1-2 years thanks to a grant from the Department of Energy.

Applicants may be eligible for a free "whole-home" energy audit, a free refrigerator replacement for units over 10 years old, a free check of furnace and water heater, and a low-or-no-cost insulation upgrade.

To qualify, applicants must own their home and make less than 200% of the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines (For example, a family of four would qualify with less than $44,700 annual income).

For each approved homeowner application, an initial inspection by BPI-certified energy auditors will diagnose the home’s performance, and then weatherization technicians will install measures to improve health, safety, and energy efficiency. A final audit will verify that the measures work.
