Get Energy Bill Help With These Local Resources
Energy costs — including propane, electricity, and natural gas — can put added strain on household budgets, especially during colder months. If you’re struggling to keep up with energy bills, there are government-funded assistance programs designed to help. One of the most widely available resources for energy bill help is the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).
What is LIHEAP?
LIHEAP is a federally funded program that provides one-time financial assistance to eligible households to help cover heating and cooling costs, including propane, natural gas, and electric bills. It can also provide emergency help if you’re facing a potential disconnection or crisis related to energy services.
Eligibility and assistance amounts vary based on income, household size, and local funding, but LIHEAP is designed to help low-income households stay safe and comfortable, whether you use electricity, gas, or propane.
There is also weatherization assistance, which can help make your home more energy efficient to reduce future energy costs through insulation, sealing, and other improvements.
Weatherization Assistance Programs
In addition to help with paying energy bills, many local assistance programs also offer weatherization services to help homes use energy more efficiently year-round. Weatherization focuses on making improvements that reduce heat loss in winter and keep homes cooler in summer — which can lead to lower energy bills over time.
These services may include sealing air leaks, adding insulation, improving ventilation, and ensuring heating systems are operating safely and efficiently. Weatherization assistance is typically provided at no cost to eligible households and is often coordinated through the same community action agencies that administer energy bill assistance programs like LIHEAP.
If you qualify for energy assistance, you may also qualify for weatherization support. We encourage customers to ask their local assistance office about both options when applying.
