Official programs that may help reduce or cover part of your energy bills
The U.S. government provides help with energy costs through state-administered programs. The main ones include:
🔌 Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
LIHEAP helps eligible households with:
- Electricity and natural gas bills
- Heating and cooling expenses
- Emergency assistance to avoid shutoffs
Key things to know:
- Availability depends on your state
- Income limits and benefits vary
- Applications may be online or in person
- Funding is limited and not guaranteed year-round
🏠Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP)
Instead of paying bills directly, this program helps lower future energy costs by improving your home’s energy efficiency, such as:
- Insulation upgrades
- Sealing air leaks
- Improving heating or cooling systems
Lower energy use = lower monthly bills over time.
🚨 Avoid Scams
