Don’t Hesitate. Insulate.
Upgrade the insulation in your multifamily property and earn cash back for every square foot. Along with the upfront savings, new insulation will boost the property’s value and appeal with lower heating and cooling costs and improve year-round comfort for your tenants. Buildings with four (4) or more units are considered multifamily.
Pacific Power partners with local agencies to provide free weatherization services to income-qualifying homeowners and renters living in single-family homes, mobile homes or apartments. Learn more: https://www.PacificPower.net/liweatherization
