Weatherization
- We interviewed a local senior citizen who participated in PSE&G’s weatherization program for low and moderate income households. Although he wishes to remain anonymous, he gave us permission to share the below details of his experience:
“He received the following, all FREE:
- A new refrigerator to replace an older less-efficient model, fully installed
- Spray-foam insulation for his attic and walls!
- Weather stripping of his doors, installed
- Low-flow shower heads, installed
- Other products, as we already know PSE&G gives out during their assessments (LED light bulbs, power strips, etc.)
The insulation piece was especially surprising. It is likely that job alone is worth $10-$15K. The resident reported a major improvement in comfort and energy efficiency.
They took a little longer than he would have liked, but not a big annoyance. He had his initial assessment in the fall, but they didn’t get out to do the insulation and weather stripping until Feb/Mar. He would have liked it done before the winter.
The resident reported that all he needed to show was his Social Security statement to prove income eligibility. He added that verification was a simple process.”
