Need help paying your bill?

The Energy Assistance Program (EAP) helps pay for home heating costs and furnace repairs for income-qualified households. We encourage you to contact them immediately if you feel you are eligible for aid. (Eligibility is based on energy costs, household size and the three most recent months of income.)
