Weatherization and Energy Education

Clackamas County Weatherization Services helps income-qualified households lower energy bills and improve home comfort, health, and safety by increasing energy efficiency.

What weatherization includes

Weatherization uses upgrades that keep homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer, such as:

  • Attic and ceiling insulation
  • Floor insulation
  • Air sealing
  • Sealed and insulated heating ducts

These improvements reduce heat loss and keep conditioned air inside the home.

Why it matters

  • High energy bills can be a major burden for households with limited income.
  • Weatherization helps lower utility costs and frees up money for other essentials.
  • The program serves households at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level.
  • Priority is given to seniors, people with disabilities, and families with children.
  • Available for single-family homes, manufactured/mobile homes, and some multi-family units.

Energy education

Energy education helps households get the most benefit from home upgrades by learning how to use them effectively. It may be provided:

  • During home visits
  • At community workshops (senior centers, county facilities, etc.)

For accommodations or more information, call 503-650-3338.
