The State of New Hampshire’s Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) is designed to reduce household energy use and costs in the homes of low-income persons throughout the state by installing energy efficiency improvements.

The New Hampshire Department of Energy operates the Weatherization Program with grants from the US Department of Energy and the US Department of Health and Human Services. NH Department of Energy subcontracts with New Hampshire’s Community Action Agencies, which are responsible for operating and delivering weatherization services at the local level.

The overall goal of the Weatherization Program is to serve those low-income households that are most vulnerable to high-energy costs and who do not have the means of making cost-effective energy conservation improvements to their homes. (See the eligibility guidelines.)

NH Department of Energy, whenever possible, collaborates with the electric and natural gas utilities’ energy efficiency programs to enhance the weatherization services provided to low-income households in New Hampshire. See Energy Efficiency Rebates and Incentives for more information about the utility-sponsored programs – note that these programs are available to everyone, so they are a resource even if you are not eligible for the WAP.
