Governor proclaims Oct. 30 as Weatherization Day. Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin encourages eligible West Virginians to apply for the Weatherization Assistance Program as the winter season approaches. The federally based program utilizes state-of-the-art energy audits, air sealing, insulation and heating combustion analysis, and repair/replacement to make energy efficient improvements in low-income and moderate-income homes. The federally based Weatherization Assistance Program assists with the reduction of residential energy burdens on low-income Americans. Weatherization saves each family, on average, $437 in heating and cooling costs every year at current prices.
