You have bills to pay and medicine to buy – but resources are limited. To complicate matters further, another harsh Kansas season shift is coming fast. You wonder if the insulation in your walls can withstand the strong winter winds. Or if your HVAC system is running at its most optimal level. The uncertainty can feel overwhelming, but there is hope. With a few key upgrades, you can lower your energy bills and create a safer, more comfortable space for your family.
Maximize Your Energy Savings
Through SCKEDD’s Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP), your family may be eligible to receive a free comprehensive home energy audit from certified professionals. Experts will assess your home’s energy inefficiencies and safety concerns. Then develop a customized improvement plan to help you reduce energy costs and improve your quality of life. These upgrades do more than just save money – they bring security, comfort, and hope for a better future in your home
Check If You Qualify for Free Home Upgrades
Your eligibility is based on your household income relative to federal low-income guidelines. If your Kansas household includes someone who receives assistance from one of the following programs, you will be automatically eligible for weatherization services:
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI),
- Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
- Low Income Energy Association Program (LIEAP)
Even if you don’t receive assistance from these programs, you may still qualify based on your household income. Check your eligibility today and take the first step toward a more energy-efficient home.
