Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP)

What is the Weatherization Program?

The Weatherization Assistance Program helps low income, elderly, or disabled residents in seventeen counties in Northeast North Carolina save energy and reduce their utility bills by improving energy efficiency.

Counties Covered: Beaufort, Bertie, Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Dare, Gates, Halifax, Hertford, Hyde, Martin, Northampton, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Pitt, Tyrrell, Washington

This program makes sure that residents have reliable, efficient, and safe ways to stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer.  In addition, the US Department of Energy has documented that homes receiving weatherization assistance saved an average of $215 per year on energy bills.  That are savings that can be counted on year after year.  

Weatherization assistance is available for most types of housing — single family homes, duplexes, condominiums and mobile homes. You do not have to own your own home to be eligible. Renters must have written permission from their landlord.

Documents Needed to Apply

  • Copy of photo ID or Driver’s license – Address must   match requested service location
  • 12-month utility history – Electric and gas
  • 12-month income information – For all household’s members
  • Property Tax Record Card for the home, recorded at the county court house where the home is located.
