The weatherization providers have been vetted to complete assessments and install selected energy-saving measures on Dominion Energy's behalf. Find your local list of providers.
Whether you’ve initiated an in-home energy assessment, or a local weatherization service provider has contacted you, be sure to take these steps before you allow them access to your home:

The weatherization service provider will provide the energy assessment report to the resident after the measures have been installed. The report will provide information on program improvements that were completed. The weatherization service provider will provide a copy of the report on the spot, through the mail or through an email following the assessment and improvements.
Yes, the resident is required to be home during the assessment. If the resident cannot be there, the appointment will be rescheduled to a time when you can be present.
