The Weatherization Assistance Program has served low-income families for more than 30 years, helping to reduce heating and cooling costs—particularly for the elderly, people with disabilities, and children—by improving the energy efficiency of their homes while ensuring their health and safety. Weatherization in Arkansas is provided by six Community Action Agencies who service the entire state: Professionally trained weatherization crews perform on-site home energy audits; households can receive attic and wall insulation, weather-stripping of doors and windows, storm window installation, furnace retrofitting, and other measures. Nationwide, weatherization generates an average energy cost savings of $300 per home each year.
