The rope caulk does not require tools.

The free kits that you order online are delivered to your home so that you can install the products yourself. If you’re interested in having the Nicor Gas Energy Efficiency Program install the energy-saving kit items, schedule a free home energy assessment instead of ordering your kit online. With a free home energy assessment, an energy advisor will install the same products included in the kit, as well as assess your home’s energy usage and provide you with a customized report that includes recommendations on how to save. For more information, visit our assessments page.

At this time, the Nicor Gas Energy Efficiency Program does not provide installation services for the weatherization kits.
