Weatherization: Free Home Energy Upgrades

Multnomah County's Weatherization Program can make your home safer, more comfortable, and energy-efficient, saving you money on your energy bills and improving indoor air quality—all at no cost to you

What we can fix for free:

An auditor will conduct an energy audit of the home to determine and identify measures that can save you money on your energy bills. Cost-effective measures may include:

  • Ceiling, wall and floor insulation
  • Furnace inspection
  • Heating duct improvements
  • Air sealing
  • Ventilation
  • Energy education

Please note: We do not cover water leak repairs. If you suspect that you have a water leak and you are a City of Portland Water Bureau (PWB) customer, please contact the PWB water leak repair assistance program online or at 503-823-4527.
