Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LiHEAP) - For homeowners or renters who have high heating bills in relation to their income. LIHEAP benefits households by making a supplemental payment on their behalf directly to their fuel vendor, whether the fuel is oil, electricity, coal, gas, or wood. LIHEAP does not provide funds to heat a home for the entire winter. The program also provides assistance with utility expenses such as electric bills and water bills.
Weatherization
Must be a certified LIHEAP eligible household to qualify. The Weatherization Program provides a home energy audit, attic and wall insulation, and other energy-saving measures that reduce home heating costs. Priority is given to households with elderly or disabled members and to families with children under 24 months.
CHIP
Central Heating Improvement Program (CHIP) - This program provides grant funds to repair or replace malfunctioning heating systems. Priority is given to those households that have no heat during the winter heating season. In order to qualify, a person must first apply for LIHEAP fuel assistance and be certified as income eligible. CHIP funds can also be used to repair or replace fuel oil storage tanks and chimney liners.
Is it possible to apply for LiHeap online? My oil heating bill was over $1,000.
