The Regional Economic Community Action Program (RECAP) offers a Weatherization Program for qualifying families. The purpose is to improve the health and welfare of low-income families by upgrading their dwellings to make them more energy efficient, safe, and comfortable.

Participants may own or rent the dwellings for which they are requesting weatherization services. Eligible participants must meet federal low-income criteria and live in Orange County. Priority status is given to the disabled, the elderly, and families with children. Each dwelling is limited to one-time-only program participation (unless prior upgrades were completed before September 30, 1992).

The RECAP Weatherization Program improves the energy efficiency of homes occupied by those eligible for services. Services provided include:

  • side-wall insulation
  • attic insulation
  • repairing or replacing broken doors and windows
  • caulking and weather-strip where needed
  • energy efficient lighting
  • showerheads, aerators, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and much more!

Your heating system may also be cleaned and serviced. We can now replace your inefficient refrigerator, repair or replace your inadequate electric hot water heater! Call for more information!
