Description
Weatherization provides services to reduce home heating and cooling costs, such as insulation, caulking, diagnostic tests, minor furnace repairs and furnace replacements. Participants also receive home energy-saving tips.Eligibility
Weatherization services are available to homeowners and renters living in Scott, Carver and Dakota Counties who are eligible for the Energy Assistance Program and in need of energy-related services.Weatherization assistance priority is given to the elderly, persons with disabilities, households with children under the age of six in homes that experience extraordinarily high levels of energy consumption.
Participation
Weatherization participation follows an address of a home instead of a family. Weatherization clients may qualify for additional services if they move to a different home or if services were provided prior to 1993. Due to the high volume of requests, program eligibility does not guarantee service.
Conservation Improvement Program (CIP)
The CAP agency also offers the Conservation Improvement Program (CIP) in partnership with local utility companies to help low income residents of Scott, Carver, and Dakota Counties conserve energy. We currently partner with Dakota Electric, Excel Energy, Minnesota Valley Electrical Cooperative, and Shakopee Public Utilities to provide conservation services to low-income customers. This program usually starts in June and ends when funds are exhausted. More informationHow to Apply
