When you applied for energy or utility assistance, you indicated your interest in energy efficient programs. Don’t worry, no one is selling your information – It’s just two programs working together for your benefit. If you prefer not to move forward with weatherization, please let us know so we can remove you from our list. We understand circumstances change and now may not be the best time for you. You are welcome to reapply at any time. Please note, grant guidelines require us to reach out until you say otherwise.
During an energy assessment, our auditors will perform a series of tests throughout your home to determine how your home uses energy. The auditor will need access to the attic, basement, heating & cooling units, bathrooms, and all major appliances. Assessments can take up 3 hours to complete.
Yes! Please complete the intake form and a Weatherization staff member will help you get started. When you complete the form, please be sure to have your landlord’s name, phone number, and email address ready so we can contact them to receive the necessary permissions.

Please call the number listed on your letter and we will get you on the schedule for an energy assessment. If you are a renter, please have your landlord’s name, phone number, and/or email address ready.
Weatherization helps eligible low-to-moderate income households across the State of Maryland with the installation of energy savings upgrades in their homes at no charge.
The program may provide the following improvements to make your home safer, healthier, and more energy efficient:
The weatherization program does not offer roof replacement, new stove, new oven, door repairs/replacement, window repairs/replacement, or any major home repairs.
When you call a repair company, it’s due to something being broken in your home. The company will make repairs on that one item then you receive a bill. Weatherization through CAC is a free service that does more than look for broken appliances – our auditors are trained to look for potential energy efficiency improvements to make sure every part of your home works together to lower your energy costs.
Weatherization services combine a variety of grants including Department of Energy, EmPOWER Utility partners (BGE, Delmarva Power, FirstEnergy, Pepco, SMECO or Washington Gas), and Maryland Energy Administration. Weatherization services are free to homeowners and renters. For landlords, we strive to keep their contributions low and, in most cases, also free. Any costs are discussed up front prior to work starting.
Our crew will contact you directly to schedule a start date. It typically takes up to two weeks from the energy assessment audit to prepare the work order.
Each weatherization job is customized to meet the home’s energy needs. Some jobs may require two or three specialized crews to complete the work order. Depending on parts needed, weatherization work can take several weeks.
All weatherization jobs must be inspected by CAC after the crew leaves. You will be contacted by our office to schedule a Quality Control Inspection. Some jobs may require additional inspections from the county – our crew will let you know if additional inspections are required.
During the Quality Control Inspection (QCI), our trained inspectors perform all of the same tests from the energy assessment audit. We want to be sure the work that was completed by our contractors will truly save you money on your utility bills. The QCI is a required step of the Weatherization process.
Weatherization services are available for low-to-moderate income families and have different income limits which are often higher than other services. If your income falls below the maximum outlined below, please complete the interest form to learn more about the services available to you:
Thank you. Someone from CAC will be contacting you shortly.
This is a test.
Each service year, CAC is required to collect new information from returning clients requesting additional services. Even though you may have answered many of these questions in a prior form, your most recent information could be different. Information about household income, household members, and even home address, phone numbers and email change occasionally. To make sure we can process your request as quickly as possible, we ask that you complete a new Universal Application each service year. CAC’s service year starts on July 1st of each year.

Thank you for your understanding.
