Weatherization Assistance Program (Utah)
Run by Utah Department of Workforce Services, Housing and Community Development (through local weatherization agencies)
Free home energy audits and weatherization (insulation, furnace, window and door repairs, carbon monoxide testing) for Utah households with income up to 200% of the federal poverty level, through the local weatherization agency for your county. Homeowners pay nothing; a renter's landlord may pay part of the cost.
Amounts
How much you get
Work is free for homeowners. The improvements depend on a computerized energy audit of the home, and the amount that can be spent on each home is limited. OED says participating households average nearly 35 percent in savings, about $583 per year. If you rent, your landlord may need to pay part of the cost.

Applying
How to apply
Follow these steps.
- Find the weatherization agency for your county.
Utah's program is run through local agencies; the state's directory lists which agency serves each county. In Salt Lake, Tooele, Davis, Weber and Morgan counties it's Utah Community Action.
- Fill out the application and gather documents.
Typically Social Security cards or a HEAT approval letter, a utility bill and bill history release, proof of ownership or owner approval, and proof of income if you aren't on HEAT. Incomplete applications can be denied after 30 days.
- Get a verification letter.
At Utah Community Action, approval comes within about two weeks of a complete application, but work can take several months or longer while you wait on the priority list.
- Energy audit and improvements.
The agency inspects the home, runs a computerized energy audit and makes the cost-effective improvements it finds, at no cost to homeowners.

Questions
How much does Weatherization Assistance Program (Utah) pay?

OED says participating households average nearly 35 percent in savings, about $583 per year. If you rent, your landlord may need to pay part of the cost.

Do renters qualify?

Is it still available?
Yes. It was open when we last checked, on October 26, 2026.
Will weatherization fix my roof or paint my house?
No. Weatherization isn't a remodeling program; repairs are made only to improve energy efficiency, so painting, roof repairs and siding replacement aren't covered.
What if my furnace or water heater breaks?
Crisis service may help. Utah Community Action expedites homeowners with no heat in winter, no air conditioning in summer or a broken water heater, if they're on the HEAT program.
How long will I wait?
It can be several months or longer. Crisis items are handled right away; other work is done when your name reaches the top of the priority list.
