Weatherization Program (Program runs until December 31, 2011)
The home weatherization programs delivered by EnviroCentre help low-income households reduce their energy consumption through improved insulation (usually in the basement and attic) as well as better draft sealing, which also makes homes more comfortable. The total value of this free service can be over $3,000 and save you up to $500 a year in energy bills, so let’s hope you qualify.
If you benefit from one of the following programs:
- Ontario Works
- Guaranteed Income Supplement
- National Child benefit supplement
- Allowance for Seniors
- Allowance for Survivors
- Ontario Disability Support Program (also requires income verification)
OR your household income (before income tax of all household members 18 years or older) is no more than the amounts on this chart:
| Household size | Maximum annual income |
| one person | $29,931 |
| two people | $37,261 |
| three people | $45,810 |
| four people | $55,617 |
| five people | $63,081 |
| six people | $71,144 |
| 7+ people | $79,208 |
Note: This program will not affect your income from government assistance programs.
and if:
- your home is heated by natural gas
- you are a customer of Enbridge Gas Distribution or Union Gas

You may qualify for this program.
