Although the Weatherization Program provides year around benefits, Gov. Jennifer Granholm declared Oct. 30 as Weatherization Day in Michigan. For eligibility requirements and other details, call MCCSA’s Home Preservation/Energy group at 586-469-6329 or visit www.macombcountymi.gov/mccsa/wx.htm.

MCCSA technicians use computerized energy audits and advanced diagnostics to determine the most cost-effective measures for each home and assess health and safety conditions.

Technicians then may install caulk or weather-stripping; clean, repair or replace the furnace; seal ducts and balance airflow; reduce heat loss through windows and doors; check for carbon monoxide leaks, and provide other energy conservation tips.
