If you’re residents of the California counties of El Dorado or Alpine, then you are especially lucky because they are offering free home weatherizing services to homeowners and renters that reach the middle income range.

The program is being operated by the El Dorado County Department of Human Services in cooperation with the California Department of Community Services and Development.
