<br />U.S. Department of Energy’sWeatherization Assistance
<br />The program is the nation’s
<br />core program for delivering energy efficiency services to low-income households. If you
<br />need help keeping your home cool and saving money on your utility bills this summer,
<br />you should call: Community Action Agency of St. Louis County, 863-0015 ext. 653,
<br />2709 Woodson Rd., St. Louis, MO 63114. Professionally trained weatherization crews
<br />perform on-site home energy audits using state of the art equipment to identify outside
<br />drafts and inspect heating and cooling systems for efficiency. Weatherization crews
<br />install insulation, seal off air leaks, make modifications to (or replace) existing heating
<br />systems and make minor repairs to ensure safety. Once installed, these energy saving
<br />measures will help to reduce your heating and cooling costs for years to come. If you
<br />
<br />qualify for Energy Assistance, you qualify for WEATHERIZATION! We will host another
<br />weatherization workshop in the near future.
