One of the first questions we get is, 
are you sure it's free?
I point out too that it really isn't free.
You've qualified for it, and you kind of deserve it, really. 
It's coming to you, and there's no charge to you.
Our company’s been involved in the Home 
Weatherization Program since the very beginning.
Today we're at Norma's house.
We're here to install upgrades to the existing insulation.
We'll be done this job in one day.
We're sealing the plumbing stack, so that 
there’s no direct pathways of air up to the attic.
Then we'll be ready for insulation, adding 
blown in cellulose in the attic to R-50.
At this house we're adding nine to 10 inches of insulation.
There’ll be 15 inches total when we're done.
When we do the basement insulation, we shoot that 
directly into the foundation, and then at the headers,
the part where the house sits on the foundation, 
and staple it right over top of that as well.
We stay a little bit off the ground 
in case there's water one day.
If it's determined that the walls are empty,
we drill one inch holes in every stud cavity,
and we blow in, under pressure, the same cellulose product.
At the house we're at today, the walls are already insulated.
To go and be able to install these measures, free 
of charge, and the people get the benefit
the energy savings, improved comfort, 
you know, it's unbelievable.
If someone was thinking about applying 
for this program, what I would tell them?
Just apply.
You've got nothing to lose, and everything to gain.
