Weatherization

Energy-Efficient Assistance

Weatherization improves heating and cooling efficiency and energy savings by ensuring your home holds heat and air conditioning while keeping hot and cold air out.

ECKAN provides free weatherization services to low-income individuals – with priority given to people over 60, individuals with disabilities, and families with children – in all service counties. Weatherization services save customers $283 annually, on average.

The ECKAN Weatherization Program has been recognized as one of the best in Kansas. The program is funded by federal Department of Energy (DOE) and Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP) funds regulated by the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Income-eligible families receive a comprehensive home energy audit at no cost. Our certified energy auditor will search the entire home, inside and out, looking for inefficiencies and safety concerns using advanced equipment and techniques. The energy audit will identify a customized account of areas for cost-effective improvements. Like the audit, the improvements will be provided free of charge.

Eligibility is based on household income relative to federal 2023 Income Guidelines. If your household has someone who receives one of the following income supplements, then your household is automatically eligible for weatherization services:

  • Supplemental Security Income
  • Temporary Assistance for Needy Families benefits
  • Utility assistance from the Low Income Energy Assistance Program

You will be added to our waiting list in order of approval date by county to receive an inspection. Once the inspection is completed, the inspector will input all data collected into an energy software tool. This will develop a scope of work to be completed that’s based on safety, energy savings, cost, and savings-to-investment ratios.
