Many Milwaukee, Waukesha, and Ozaukee County families are not comfortable in their homes. Weatherization Services was created in 2008 to provide homeowners with a variety of home energy efficiency improvement options under the same roof. Our goal is to make your home comfortable throughout all the Wisconsin seasons, while cutting your energy bills, increasing home safety, and helping the planet. All of our projects begin with a home energy audit. This approach allows you to learn about where your home wastes energy and what energy efficiency improvements will provide the greatest value to your family.
Air leaks account for 25 to 40 percent of the energy used to heat and cool the average home, according to ENERGY STAR. We use a blower door test to determine if a house has excessive air leaks. In many homes, air sealing is the highest value home efficiency upgrade because it results in significant energy savings. ENERGY STAR estimates that homeowners can save up to 20% on heating and cooling costs (or up to 10% on their total annual energy bill) by sealing and insulating the home. The Weatherization Services team uses a blower door test, an infrared camera, and a highly trained eye to locate air leaks and seal them up properly.
Windows are an important component of your home, impacting your utility bills, comfort, and even home durability. We offer a lifetime warranty on new window installations that also covers glass breakage. This coverage is even transferrable to another owner if you sell your home. Does your home have leaky, poorly fitted, or single-pane windows? If so, new high-efficiency windows can cut your energy bills. The Weatherization Services team is meticulous in installing new windows to lower your utility bills.

Weatherization Services installs a variety of residential air conditioning units throughout the greater Milwaukee area. Our team designs and installs a variety of high-efficiency AC units for greater home energy savings.

We replace heating and cooling units, water heaters, and ventilation systems throughout the Milwaukee area. The Weatherization Services team installs high-efficiency HVAC systems and water heaters for more efficient home heating and cooling. Does your home heating or cooling system need to be replaced?

Is your siding damaged, bulging, and warped? Do you want to change the look of your home or experience the ease of low-maintenance vinyl siding? Weatherization Services installs high-quality exterior siding throughout the Milwaukee area. Proper home maintenance depends on maintaining home siding. Your house siding protects your home from rain, snow, and wind. Gaps and cracks in the siding can cause water leaks, resulting in water damage and mold. The Weatherization Services team can remove and replace all your home siding, promoting home durability.
Spray foam insulation has grown in popularity across Wisconsin in recent decades. As homeowners seek ways to reduce their natural gas bills and increase home comfort, spray foam insulation is an excellent solution. Insulating your Milwaukee-area home with spray foam is a great way to cut energy bills and stop drafts. Polyurethane foam is more resistant to water damage than some other types of insulation, and it also helps to air seal the home. Spray foam insulation can help fill gaps, cracks, and irregular spaces that might be hard to fill with other types of insulation.
The Weatherization Services team understands the importance of a properly functioning water heater. Our team provides a variety of services to cut your energy bills and promote home safety. If your water heater isn't venting properly, it can backdraft hazardous exhaust fumes into your home. This creates a safety hazard. The Weatherization Services team is skilled in solving home safety issues. If your gas water heater is backdrafting, you can qualify for $200 in Focus on Energy rebates to correct the issue with a high-efficiency water heater.
When having lead abatement work performed in your home, it is essential to find a certified contractor you can trust! Weatherization Services puts your safety first and doesn't cut corners. Many families find out their homes have lead hazards after a child has elevated levels in their blood. Lead poisoning can cause learning disabilities, fatigue, hyperactivity, and memory loss. Weatherization Services is dedicated to serving the community and is meticulous about following lead safety procedures.
The Weatherization Services team has highly trained energy auditors that use infrared cameras, blower door tests, and years of experience to pinpoint home energy savings opportunities. Many Milwaukee area homes have insufficient insulation, gaps or cracks in the home exterior, and improperly vented exhaust fans. These scenarios create home comfort issues, high energy bills, poor indoor air quality, and even long-term maintenance issues. Our home energy audit identifies these trouble areas using diagnostic testing and a trained eye.
It is essential to handle asbestos carefully to ensure safety for contractors and the community alike.

To protect human health, the State of Wisconsin has a lead abatement certification program for contactors.

Many homes throughout southeastern Wisconsin lack sufficient insulation. In the Milwaukee area, adequate insulation is essential for home comfort and low heating bills. Cellulose insulation consists of recycled newspapers and plant fibers. The cellulose insulation R-value is superior to many other types of attic insulation, meaning that it is highly effective in keeping your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Blown-in cellulose insulation is highly effective in insulating around pipes, wires, and other obstructions, saving energy.
Did you know that over half of all home energy use in Wisconsin is for space heating? If your home has old, damaged, or insufficient insulation, your heating and cooling costs can be really high. Does your home have uneven temperatures, cold floors, and form ice dams or icicles on the roof? These are signs that your home isn't properly insulated. We begin each job with our home energy audit and use diagnostic testing to determine if you have gaps in your insulation or if damaged insulation is compromising home performance.
Many Milwaukee-area homes have doors that leak or are difficult to operate. Other homeowners are looking for greater curb appeal by making a good first impression with an attractive front door.

We are exterior door installation experts that are skilled in home efficiency and comfort.
With our long Wisconsin winters, gas furnaces work hard to keep our homes warm. Forced-air furnaces typically need to be replaced at around 20 years or less. Older equipment often requires more frequent and costly repairs. It is often a better investment to buy a new furnace than to keep an ailing furnace limping along. Contact the Weatherization Services team to find out more about our furnace installation service. Some homeowners upgrade furnaces because of the potential energy savings. There are many high-performance furnaces on the market that can cause a significant reduction in your heating bills.
Homes commonly lose 30 to 40 percent of the air traveling through the ducts. Our home efficiency experts can determine if leaky ductwork is driving up your energy bills and causing uneven home temperatures. If so, duct sealing is essential for lower energy bills and improved comfort. Your home duct system delivers heated or cooled air from your furnace and air conditioner throughout your home. Many Milwaukee-area homes have leaky ductwork. Unfortunately, this makes your home heating and cooling system work less efficiently.
