Weatherization

A team of weatherization professionals will evaluate and weatherize your home, creating a more comfortable and efficient environment.

We are now coordinating services with NYSERDA’s EmPower program.  No need to call two organizations/businesses, we can  now provide both!

The Weatherization Assistance Program features an experienced team who can conduct an energy audit and weatherize your home, including weather-stripping and caulking of doors and windows; cleaning, testing, and repairs of heating systems; adding insulation to walls and ceilings; and minor repairs as needed. After weatherization, another inspection will follow to check quality and effectiveness and the energy reduction items installed.

The program helps to improve a home so that it stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Most of the homes in Buffalo are poorly insulated, and sealing them up can save homeowners hundreds of dollars on their utilities. The programs offered by NHS of South Buffalo are for both homeowners and tenants.

We were able to weatherize 310 properties (204 homes and 1,395 rental units) through the end of October 2012!
