Colorado’s Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP)
No-cost weatherization services for qualified residents and homes.
Our Weatherization Assistance Program helps income-qualified Coloradans save money, increase comfort, and improve their homes and the environment with proven energy conservation solutions.
What is weatherization? Weatherization protects homes from the elements, including cold, heat, water, and wind. It also reduces energy use and improves your home’s energy efficiency. For example, weatherizing your home can include installing insulation and sealing air leaks to help maintain a comfortable indoor temperature and improve indoor air quality. Together, these measures can reduce your energy bills, make your home more comfortable, and increase residents’ safety.
Income Eligibility
Eligibility is determined by county, household size, and household income or through current enrollment in any of the assistance programs listed below the income eligibility table (verification required).
Households may be eligible if their household income is 60% or less of the State Median Income (SMI) or 80% or less of their county’s Area Median Income (AMI). Income limits to qualify are determined based on whichever of these income indicators is higher. Note that income limits for households with eight or more people are based on 200% of the federal poverty line (FPL) instead of SMI.
