Home Weatherization
Our Weatherization Program ensures families’ well-being through cost-effective home improvements and energy audits. Repairs and upgrades decrease energy costs, increase energy-efficiency and improve indoor air quality.
Services & Benefits
Utah Community Action’s Weatherization program helps households lower energy bills, improve indoor air quality and increase comfort and safety in homes year-round. Weatherizing a home involves conducting a home inspection and a computerized energy audit, identifying cost-effective energy improvements that can be performed on the dwelling, and then making those improvements. The Weatherization program also provides energy education for residents so they may continue using energy efficiently.
What is provided
Weatherizing a home involves conducting a home inspection and a computerized energy audit, identifying cost-effective energy improvements that can be performed on the dwelling, and then making those improvements if you qualify for the program. The Weatherization program also provides energy education for residents so they may continue using energy efficiently.
Examples of typical weatherization repairs: replacing incandescent lighting; repairing windows, doors, and furnaces; carbon monoxide testing; wall, floor, ceiling, and duct insulation.
What is not provided
Weatherization is not a remodeling or rehabilitation program. The amount that can be spent on each dwelling is limited, and repairs are made only to improve the energy efficiency of a home, not to improve the home’s capital value.
Examples of typical non-allowable requests: painting; roof repairs; siding replacements; installing storm windows or storm doors (unless shown cost-effective for a specific home).

Crisis services are available for homeowners with no heat during the winter months, no air conditioning during the summer months, or a broken water heater.

Utah Community Action was a lifeline during our family’s crisis. They provided emergency rental assistance and guidance when we needed it most. Thanks to their assistance, my children and I have a safe place to call home, and I have hope for our future.
Wilson Izatt
Case Management and Housing Client
I’ve always tried to provide for my kids without asking for help, but after a serious car accident left me hospitalized and without transportation, I lost my job and couldn’t make ends meet. As a single dad living in Tooele, getting to Salt Lake City for work became impossible, and I was struggling to keep the heat on and care for my children. When I reached out for help, I was met with compassion and understanding. Utah Community Action walked me through the HEAT Utility Assistance and connected me with resources for housing and employment. I was overwhelmed with gratitude—I never expected so much support. I’ll never forget the kindness I received when I needed it most.
