The Chautauqua County Office for Aging Services (CCOFAS) will be distributing free National Fuel weatherization kits, designed to help Western New Yorkers save money on heating bills this winter. 

Each weatherization kit contains: 

  • Window insulation shrink film
  • A heat and air deflector
  • Vinyl foam weatherseal
  • Electric outlet sealers

The office has a total of 400 kits available. The kits will be distributed on a first-come, first served basis at the following locations: 

  • Mayville: 7 N. Erie St., Hall R. Clothier Building, Mayville, NY 14757
  • Jamestown: 107 Institute St., Suite 201, Jamestown, NY 14701
  • Dunkirk: Dunkirk Senior Center, 45 Cliffstar Court, Dunkirk, NY 14048

There is a limit of one kit per household. 

“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.”
