Weatherization is a 'whole home' approach to ensuring a home is safe and energy efficient.
In partnership with the State of Ohio, Columbia Gas of Ohio, and Toledo Edison/First Energy, NeighborWorks Toledo Region is able to provide weatherization services to residents of Lucas County who income qualify.
The purpose of these programs is to identify and address health or safety issues present in the home, and to perform measures such as repairs or insulation that contribute directly to the reduction of the use of natural gas and electricity use, thus lowering utility costs.
A NTR Energy Auditor will develop a scope of work containing the the most cost-effective weatherization services for each home, tailored to meet each home's individual needs.
