This program provides your household with an annual cash grant to help you pay for your home heating and cooling costs. The grants are paid either directly to you or to your energy company.

Grants can be used for attic insulation, floors, and exposed water pipes, as well as for the tune-up, repair, or replacement of heating units or air conditioners in your home.

Please note: The amount of funding for this program will vary from state to state, and there is no guarantee that funds will be available when you apply. The availability of funds will depend on several factors, such as the demand for this program in your area and the timing of when you submit your application during your state's enrollment period.
