The Energy Assistance Program helps pay heat and electricity costs. Payments for energy bills are sent directly to the household's energy company or fuel provider for propane, fuel oil, or wood. Financial assistance varies depending on household income and fuel costs. Also, the program helps homeowners repair or replace a failing furnace.

The Energy Assistance Program provides additional grants for eligible households who need help with:

- Getting reconnected to heat and power after disconnections

- Paying for emergency fuel deliveries of propane, heating oil, or biofuel

- Preventing disconnection

The deadline to apply for this program is May 31, 2026. Applications for the 2026 - 2027 heating season will be accepted starting September 2026
