Iowa Utility Bill Assistance, and Help With Electric and Heating Bills
The Bureau of Energy Assistance in Iowa administers the federally funded Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). This assistance program is designed to help eligible households with the payment of a portion of their residential utility bills and heating costs for the winter heating season, which will help with saving on heating bills as well. The program's energy crisis intervention program components are created to provide immediate response to assist in the potentially life-threatening situations, and the consumer education component of this help program will provides money for activities that encourage regular utility payments, encourage reduction of energy use, promote energy awareness, and stress energy efficiency, weatherization, and client education.
Iowa Weatherization Assistance Program
The Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) is a federally funded grant program that was established to help lower the cooling and heating costs for lower income persons, particularly the disabled, elderly, and children, by improving the energy usage and efficiency of their homes.
The installation of electricity and energy efficiency measures in a household is determined by a computerized energy audit which will determine the cost effectiveness of each utility bill saving measure.
