INTRODUCTION & REQUIRED DOCUMENTS

The mission of the North Carolina Weatherization Assistance Program is to improve household energy efficiency and energy related health and safety, for low-income North Carolina residents. The program focuses primarily on serving the elderly, the disabled, families with young children, high-energy users, and the heavily energy burdened. The Heating and Air Repair and Replacement Program focuses specifically on the repair or replacement of unsafe, inoperable, and inadequate heating and cooling systems. Weatherization assistance is available to low income residents living in single-family houses, apartments, condominiums, and mobile homes. You DO NOT have to own a home to be eligible. Renters MUST have written permission from the property owner before services are rendered. Eligibility criteria may vary between programs. Multifamily units cannot exceed 4 connected units and/or 5 buildings total on property. Each unit must be individually metered.

What the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) and Heating and Air Repair and Replacement Program (HARRP) do:
- Evaluates homes for energy-related efficiency and safety upgrades
- Insulates attics, floors, and walls as needed
- Makes minor repairs to address energy-related health & safety issues
- Repairs or replaces heating/cooling systems if required
