Option 1 Restrict NGAT assessments to IOU natural gas appliances, but still install infiltration-reduction measures in homes with non-IOU combustion appliances Option 2 Conduct NGAT assessments for other combustion appliances (e.g., propane) prior to weatherization, and install infiltration reduction measures only in homes that pass the NGAT test Option 3 Conduct NGAT assessments for other combustion appliances (e.g., propane) prior to or after weatherization, and repair or replace these appliances if they fail the NGAT test. Option 4 (recommended) Restrict NGAT assessments to IOU natural gas appliances, and deem infiltration reduction measures non-feasible for all homes using other combustion fuels. Refer homes with non-IOU combustion fuels to LIHEAP agencies or to other natural gas utilities. Options Considered for Eligible Homes with Non-IOU Combustion Fuels
Questions to be Addressed • How can we most effectively leverage LIEE and LIHEAP resources to serve homes with non-IOU combustion fuels? • What services can be provided by LIHEAP contractors? • For contractors who participate in both LIEE and LIHEAP programs, how can the cost of treating homes with non-IOU combustion fuels best be split between these programs? • Are LIHEAP budgets sufficient to accommodate referrals of homes in areas with high saturations of non-IOU combustion fuels (propane, kerosene, etc.)? Are there ways of using leveraging to stretch LIHEAP budgets so that referrals can receive LIHEAP services?
