Weatherization is the process of modifying a home in order to save energy. The goal is to increase the energy efficiency, safety, and comfort in the home by eliminating drafts, ensuring proper levels of insulation in attic walls, floors, water heater pipes, and furnace ducts.

Both marketability and resale value may increase depending on the work performed.

Weatherization services will seal up drafts to prevent heat loss, insulate your home, save energy dollars, increase your comfort, and make your home safer.
