Weatherize Your Home, Save on Energy Bills

Adding insulation and sealing a home can make it more energy efficient. Through the MVCAA Weatherization program, we provide resources to review a home and provide a customized plan to help a home be more resistant to extreme temperature, saving on utility bills. In addition, Weatherization Crews inspect households to ensure the occupants’ safety. This includes checking indoor air quality, combustion safety and carbon monoxide.

The Weatherization program is administered by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources/Division of Energy. This program, sponsored by MVCAA, is a free service for homeowners and/or renters who qualify.
