http://stlouisrenewableenergy.blogspot.com/2010/06/missouri-weatherization-assistance.html Weatherization is a long-term response to these problems. A home that has been weatherized can reduce average annual fuel savings per dwelling by up to 13.5 percent, with electricity at 12.2 percent and natural gas at 23.4 percent, making it a cost-effective means to help low-income families with their energy bills.
