The Agency has programs that are federal and utility company funded, operating home energy saving services to eligible low income residents in Butte County and to some surrounding counties.
Typical installations include attic insulation, door and window repairs to reduce air loss, tune-ups or repairs or replacement to heating and cooling systems, replacing appliances to improve efficiency and safety, and replacing standard lighting with compact fluorescent bulbs.
Other services include weather-stripping, low-flow showerheads, ceiling fans and many other energy saving measures. Weatherization technicians complete energy audits to determine which energy measures are most appropriate and cost effective for each home. Weatherization reduces energy costs for low-income families by improving the efficiency of their homes.
