Programs


The State of Maryland offers several no- and low-cost weatherization programs. Households that submit an application to the Department of Housing & Community Development or submit an application for Energy Assistance through the Department of Human Services may be screened for all three programs. 

  • Weatherization Authorization Program (WAP): ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Maryland’s WAP assists income-eligible homeowners and renters by reducing heating and cooling costs through energy-conservation measures, while also addressing health and safety issues in the home. WAP is administered by local weatherization agencies, which are denoted below. 
  • Limited Income Energy Efficiency Program: Eligible households located in EmPOWER utility service territories may apply for the Department of Housing & Community Development’s Limited Income Energy Efficiency Program, which provides weatherization services. 
  • Maryland Energy Assistance Program​: ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​MEAP is a federally-funded program that provides free assistance to eligible Maryland households. The program is aimed at making homes more comfortable by repairing and replacing heating, cooling, and water heating systems.​
