Home Heating Fuel Information:

In anticipation of the coming winter months and the accompanying need for home heating fuels, I have provided some links below to assist constituents in reducing their energy bills.

The Department of Energy Energy Saving Tips for Homes assists with information on conserving home heating fuel.

In addition these tips, click on the web link to LIHEAP Information and Consumer Support Center if you need assistance paying energy costs. LIHEAP is an acronym for Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program and is a federally-funded program to help eligible low income households meet their home heating and/or cooling needs. The LIHEAP consumer information page provides assistance with a Frequenty Asked Questions page (FAQ) and information on contacting the National Energy Assistance Referral (NEAR) project for assistance in applying for LIHEAP help. The NEAR service is free and can be contacted by e-mail, energyassistance@ncat.org (please include your city, county, and state along with your e-mail message), or by using NEAR's toll-free phone number 1-866-674-6327 (or 1-866-NRG-NEAR).
