(2) No contribution may be required from the eligible household.
(3) Full levels of all cost-effective structurally feasible measures, as determined by the department, shall be installed when a residence is weatherized.
(4) No undue or excessive enhancement to a residence shall occur as a result of weatherization provided under this chapter.
