Lalla Family’s Story
Weatherization work for the Lalla household included: insulating the walls and attic, sealing up windows and doors, as well as sealing along the foundation around the entire basement of the home. The team that worked on this project put in a new vent in the kitchen and also installed a new access panel with a fold-down ladder to get up to the attic. All of this work was done free of charge for the Meriden-based couple.
