A more comfortable, energy-smart home

Start with air leaks and a home energy assessment, not a shopping list of upgrades.

Weatherization connects air sealing, insulation, moisture control and ventilation. A whole-home plan helps you choose improvements that suit your building rather than guessing.

Find the starting point

An energy assessment can help identify where your home loses energy. Renters can ask their landlord about drafts and maintenance before making changes to the building.

Look at the whole home

Consider air sealing and insulation alongside moisture control and ventilation. Fixing one part without considering the others can create comfort or indoor-air problems.

Choose a safe project

Energy Saver offers step-by-step DIY guidance. Choose tasks appropriate to your skills, follow safety instructions and use a qualified professional for work you cannot safely do yourself.
