Weatherization Programs for Homeowners & Renters

WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE

The Community Action Council of Howard County offers no-cost weatherization services to Maryland homeowners and renters. What is home weatherization? Adding new insulation and air sealing to stop indoor drafts is weatherization. It can also mean repairing or replacing your heating and cooling systems. A weatherized home uses less energy. It also improves home comfort.

To get started, complete the online intake form at the top or bottom of this page.

Do I Qualify for No-Cost Weatherization Assistance Programs?

We provide weatherization services at no cost to households with low to moderate income. Even if you do not qualify for OHEP Bill Pay Assistance, visit our Eligibility Considerations page. There you can find information on income guidelines for weatherization. It surprises many people to learn they are eligible for no-cost upgrades!

We offer three weatherization assistance programs. All of them help you permanently lower heating and cooling bills and improve indoor comfort.
