The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) program makes a one-time payment to your utility company. Your utilities may not be shut off during the winter moratorium if you apply for and qualify for LIHEAP. Some households will not be eligible for LIHEAP but may qualify for weatherization. The weatherization program performs basic upgrades to your home at no cost to you, such as insulation, replacing inefficient appliances, and sealing air leaks.
