With the heating season upon us, Wisconsin Public Service reminds qualified low-income customers there are dollars available to help with heating bills. The Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program (WHEAP) administers the federally funded Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). LIHEAP and its related services help approximately 225,000 Wisconsin households annually. In addition to regular heating and electric assistance, specialized services include:

• Emergency fuel assistance,
• Counseling for energy conservation and energy budgets,
• Targeted outreach services,
• Emergency furnace repair and replacement.
