I make too much money to qualify for fuel assistance. If you have not called your local Community Action Agency to determine eligibility, please do this first as the eligibility guidelines were increased this year. Local churches or the Salvation Army might also be able to provide emergency assistance. If you are not in an emergency situation there are some other options you might explore. Try first working with your fuel dealer to set up a budget payment plan.
Most dealers understand how fuel prices are affecting customers and are more than willing to help.
Likewise, some NH towns and cities offer tax incentives for homes that use renewable energy sources. There are many other options that are currently being proposed to NH State and Federal legislators to provide further assistance and incentives to consumers. ECS has many free publications with energy efficiency and conservation tips that we are happy to send to citizens requesting information. I'm interested in learning about the Weatherization Assistance Program. The Weatherization Program is a program designed to assist low-income households in implementing energy efficient measures to your household in order to promote energy conservation.
