Make the first call count.

A little information helps an agency understand what your home needs.

  1. Say if it is urgent

    Mention if you are out of fuel, have no working heat, or received a shutoff notice. Seasonal programs and funding can change.

  2. Ask what to gather

    For HEAP, ask about income documents, household information, and recent energy bills before your appointment.

  3. Separate fuel from repairs

    Tell the agency whether you need a fuel delivery, help with a bill, or repair of the heating system itself.
