ECKAN Weatherization Program assists a target population consisting of the elderly, handicapped and low-income families in thirteen counties.  These counties include Anderson, Butler, Chase, Coffey, Douglas, Franklin, Greenwood, Harvey, Lyon, Marion, Miami, Osage and Wyandotte.  The Weatherization Program’s service area is more extensive than the overall agency’s service area of nine counties.  The Weatherization Program has been recognized and acknowledged as one of the best in the State of Kansas.

 

This help is provided at no cost to those who own their own home as well as those who rent that qualify under the program guidelines.  The program is paid for with federal Department of Energy (DOE) and Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP) funds that are regulated by the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation.

 

Energy saving measures may include:

 

· Cleaning and tuning up of the furnace to assure efficiency and safety or replacement of furnace if necessary.

· Sealing leaks in heating system.

· Repairing broken glass in windows

· Sealing holes in outside walls and ceiling for insulation installation

· Insulation attic areas

· Insulating exterior walls.

The Kansas Energy Efficiency Program (KEEP) provides low interest loads to qualified Kansas homeowners to make improvement to their homes to increase energy efficiency.  The program is for persons who have income at or below 100 percent of the median income for their area.  KHRC funds half of the loaned amount, up to a maximum of $7,500.
