Weatherization Assistance Program (Nevada)
Last updated August 2026
Nevada's Weatherization Assistance Program makes free home energy improvements that lower your bills for good. The Nevada Housing Division runs it through local nonprofit agencies. Because the work stays with the home, the savings repeat year after year. You apply through the regional agency that serves your county.
Eligibility is based on income. Your household must be at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level. Both homeowners and renters can apply. So do not skip this just because you rent.
For approved homeowners and renters, all services are free. There is one thing to know if you rent. The owner of an eligible rental property may have to cover 50 percent of the cost of the work. Your agency can explain how that works for your home.
The improvements are picked to save the most energy for your home. They can include air sealing to cut drafts, added insulation, weather-stripping, LED lighting, low-flow shower heads, and solar window screens. They can also include HVAC, refrigerator, or water-heater upgrades or repairs.
The process starts with your local agency. First you find and contact your regional agency. Then a licensed auditor does a home energy assessment. After that, contractors install the approved improvements. So apply before an emergency, not during one.
Pair weatherization with the Energy Assistance Program for help on this season's bill while the home is fixed for the long run. You may qualify, but the program decides after it checks your income and does the home assessment. You can dial 2-1-1 for other local utility funds.
