UGI urges eligible customers to apply for LIHEAP grants

UGI encourages eligible natural gas and electric customers to apply for the federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program funds to help cover the cost of heating their home this winter.

In addition, UGI offers a number of company-sponsored assistance programs for customers who are having difficulty paying their energy bill.

LIHEAP grants help customers with limited or fixed incomes pay their heating bills, repair or replace a heater, avoid utility service shut off and assist in restoring a terminated service. LIHEAP grants do not need to be repaid. LIHEAP funds are limited and available on a first-come, first-serve basis to qualifying customers. UGI urges customers to submit a LIHEAP application as soon as possible. For more information on LIHEAP, call UGI at 800-844-9276 or go to www. ugi.com.
