Put Weatherization to Work for You!
The Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) is the nation's core program for delivering energy efficiency services to low-income households. The Community Assistance Network (CAN) delivers these services to income-qualified residents in Baltimore County. In collaboration with BGE, Baltimore County Office of Community Conservation, Maryland Department of Human Resources, Maryland Daprtment of Housing and Community Development, and the U.S. Department of Energy, CAN delivers services to more than 200 households each year.
The WAP goal is to reduce energy costs to low-income persons by improving the energy efficiency of their homes, while ensuring their health and safety. Professionally trained weatherization crews perform on-site home energy audits using state-of-the-art equipment to identify outside drafts and inspect heating systems for efficiency.
Weatherization crews install insulation, seal off air leaks, and make modifications to (or replace) existing heating systems. Once installed, these energy-saving measures help to reduce heating and cooling costs for years to come.
