LIHEAP can help you pay your main heating & cooling bills -- get help here!

Energy Assistance

Energy Assistance will give you a one-time payment to help pay your main fuel heating bill during the months of October to May.  The amount of help you receive is based on the size of your household, your household income, and the type of heating fuel used in your home.

A disconnect notice or in threat of disconnect is not needed to receive Energy Assistance. Please allow 30 working days for your application to be processed once it is received.

 

Energy Crisis Intervention Program (ECIP)

The Energy Crisis Intervention Program helps pay your energy bill when you have one or more of the following:

  • disconnect notice indicating specific date
  • final billing statement advising the account has been terminated
  • a propane-fuel tank at or less than 20% full
  • pre-paid electric customer about to run out of funds

 The amount of help you receive is based on the amount of money needed to settle your crisis with the energy provider. 

  • Winter ECIP is available November-May.  The maximum amount you could receive is $800.
  • Summer ECIP is available June-September.  The maximum amount you could receive is $600.
