Illinois Home Weatherization Assistance Program (IHWAP)


Weatherization is designed to help low-income residents save fuel and money while increasing the comfort of their homes. Depending on the circumstances and condition of your dwelling, some of the following work may be done

  • Sealing cracks with weather-stripping and caulk
  • Insulating attics and walls
  • Repairing windows and doors

Weatherization services include having an experienced heating contractor examine your heating system to make sure the heating system is safe and in good working order. Work on your furnace may include: clean and tune, repair, retrofit, and in some cases, replacement of the unit.
