WIRC's Weatherization Team Wins Awards

WIRC's Weatherization Team Wins Awards

 

– Western Illinois Regional Council’s (WIRC) Weatherization Team was
recently recognized state-wide for their efficiency and timeliness in completing projects. The nonprofit department
received “Most Improved” and “Top Performer” awards by the Ameren Illinois Energy Efficiency Program. WIRC
Weatherization Assistant Coordinator Chase Gaumer accepted the awards on behalf of the Agency.
The Illinois Home Weatherization program helps eligible homeowners with making their homes safer and more
energy efficient by eliminating heat loss and air infiltration areas in the home. To qualify, the household’s total gross
income cannot exceed 200% of the federal poverty level guidelines, which can be found online at
wirpc.org/weatherization/ or by calling WIRC at 309-837-2997.
WIRC manages the social service program in Hancock, Henderson, Fulton, Knox, McDonough and Warren counties in
Illinois. In the past two years alone, the WIRC Weatherization Team has installed energy efficiency improvements at 130
homes in their service area.
“The weatherization funds we receive from Ameren and NICOR help us to do additional homes on top of the 55 homes
we do each year with the funding we receive from the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity,” said Tim
Manock, Weatherization Coordinator for WIRC.  
WIRC helps people and communities in western Illinois, and wants to know how they can help you. Their main
office is located at 133 West Jackson Street in Macomb, Illinois. To learn more about their programs, call 309-837-
2997, email wirc@wirpc.org, find them on social media, or visit their website at wirpc.org. The Agency is an equal
opportunity provider and employer.
