Insulation Replacement Assistance Programs in Maryland

Many Maryland homes do not have enough insulation. They often have hidden holes and gaps that let air escape. This forces your heating and cooling to work harder. It also wastes energy and increases costs, and leaves people uncomfortable indoors.

If you’re looking for assistance with insulation replacement, CAC can help! We offer no-cost insulation and air sealing upgrades for qualified homeowners and renters in Maryland. It’s part of our weatherization assistance program. Here’s what you need to know.

Signs Your Home Needs New Insulation and Air Sealing

• High heating and cooling bills
• Indoor drafts or cold spots
• Temperature changes between floors or rooms

Insulation and air sealing can help with all of the above!

How You Benefit from Insulation Upgrades

Last year, CAC upgraded 650 Maryland homes with weatherization assistance! That’s hundreds and hundreds of local families with cozier homes and lower heating and cooling bills, at no cost to them.

• Lower Utility Bills: The average home saves $372 every year after weatherization assistance. Upgraded homes use less energy.
• Increased Comfort: You’ll have fewer drafts and a more consistent temperature.
• A Healthier Home: Weatherization can improve air quality by preventing outside pollutants from getting in.
