From air sealing to improving ventilation to adding insulation, home weatherization helps consumers save money by saving energy. Weatherization is also a growing industry in the clean energy economy, creating jobs for home energy auditors and residential contractors.

The Energy Department provides funding, technical assistance and online tools to local governments for their programs that save families hundreds of dollars on their energy bills.

There is TCOC. They help up to $7500 if a family actually qualify. They help with furnaces, fridgerating, insulation, if the windows leak will insulate and also with leaky doors. But what about people that have jobs, but don't qualify for help, it would not hurt for them to think about weatherizing their place, also. Usually the people that qualify for TCOC are even lucky to pay their bills, but yet expect to receive help. It is a nice program.
