Home energy efficiency prevents wasted energy and wasted dollars—less leakage of warm air and entry of cold air leads to lower fuel and utility costs.
Increased energy efficiency means homeowners and tenants are able to maintain comfort without
compromising health and safety.
Northfield’s weatherization program is administered by the U.S. Department of Energy through the New York State government with supplemental funding from the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and private monies.
