A
blower door test
is being conducted in
this home to
determine the amount of heat
escaping it so it
can be transformed into an
energy-efficient
residence.
Weatherization makes homes more energy efficient by installing new heat sources, duct work, insulation, caulk, and/or weather stripping. Initially, a blower door test is conducted before work begins to demonstrate the amount of heat escaping the home and where it is escaping. After the work is completed, the homeowner is trained on how to properly maintain the heating system.
Weatherization reduces heating bills, on average, by 20 to 30 percent per year. Funding resources include: United States Department of Energy and the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development.
The
structure of this heating system is unsafe,
as it is capable of
releasing
dangerous toxins.
AppCAA can repair or
reinstall
a heating system
to bring a home's
safety level up to
standards.
Winter Crisis Heating Program, operated in partnership with local Department of Social Service (DSS) agencies, repairs and installs heating systems for area residents without a safe heat source in their home. This program provided heat sources for 191 people in 72 households between November 1 and March 30.
