Richgas accepts energy assistance for low income customers and those needing help to purchase propane for the winter.

The LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program) is a federally funded program that provides support to needy, low-income households for utility bill payments. Federal funds are distributed to each state and the individual states then administer the program and funds distribution. LIHEAP pays partial energy bills for eligible families.

The program usually makes payments directly to your local utility company. Because the LIHEAP program provides support on a first come-first serve basis, it is important to apply as early as possible as some states provide no further support once their federal funding has run out.

If you are unsure how to apply for propane heating assistance, call our Richgas office Monday through Friday between 8 AM and 5 PM at (814) 837-7670 and we will be happy to help you with the information you need.
