DO YOU NEED WEATHERIZATION SERVICES?

Answer the following questions to see if weatherization might be able to help you:

  • In the winter, do you feel cold drafts coming from your windows and/or doors, even when they’re closed?

  • In the winter, do you run the heater all day just to stay warm?

  • In the summer, do you have to keep your air conditioner on all the time?

  • Are your heating and cooling bills too expensive?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, your home may benefit from weatherization services. CSET uses its Sequoia Community Corps to provide the labor for these weatherization services. Corpsmembers, supervised by CSET’s certified on-staff contractors, develop useful skills while gaining on-the-job training. To date, CSET has weatherized over 3,600 homes in Tulare County.
