Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP)

HEAP helps income-eligible households pay for their energy bill or heating fuel source. You may qualify to have a payment amount credited to your electric utility account, or you may receive financial assistance for firewood, propane, pellets, or heating oil. If eligible, you will also receive information about energy conservation and tips on how to save money on energy costs.
