Weatherization Assistance ProgramSpringfield Partners for Community Action's Weatherization Assistance Program has been helping Hampden County families save money for more than 25 years.
Last year, we weatherized the homes of 1,500 families. These homeowners and renters saved an average of $350 to $400 a year in energy expenses!
If your application is approved, Springfield Partners weatherization auditors will conduct an in-home energy inspection and provide a heating system analysis. This will determine which energy-saving measures are needed. Licensed and insured contractors perform the work and auditors make a final inspection.
Energy saving measures include:
- Weather-stripping for doors and windows
- Wall and attic insulation
- Caulking, to seal cracks
- Air sealing
If you are receiving fuel assistance and would like to apply for Weatherization Assistance, please call (413) 263-6500.
