MAYVILLE, NY – The Chautauqua County Office for Aging Services (CCOFAS) is pleased to announce the distribution of free National Fuel weatherization kits, designed to help Western New Yorkers save money on heating bills this winter.
With the colder months already upon us, these kits are an excellent resource for residents to prepare for the challenges of winter weather.
Each weatherization kit contains:
- Window insulation shrink film
- A heat and air deflector
- Vinyl foam weatherseal
- Electric outlet sealers
“We’re thrilled to partner with National Fuel to bring these valuable weatherization kits to the community,” said Dana Corwin, Interim Director of the Chautauqua County Office for Aging Services. “Staying warm and reducing heating costs is critical during the winter months, and these kits provide an easy and effective way to achieve both. While we’ve already experienced a taste of winter weather, more is undoubtedly on the way, and we encourage residents to take advantage of this opportunity.”
