Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) Heating Equipment Repair or Replacement Benefit

How it works

Warren County says HEAP is a federally funded program that helps low-income households with their home energy needs. The county page specifically lists the Heating Equipment Repair or Replacement Benefit as one of the HEAP components available through the program.

What the money covers

The page names these HEAP components:

• Regular Benefit
• Emergency Benefit
• Heating Equipment Repair or Replacement Benefit
• Clean and Tune Benefit
• Cooling Assistance

For homeowner hardening purposes, the relevant component is the Heating Equipment Repair or Replacement Benefit, which can help with repairing or replacing heating equipment.

Amounts and matching

The Warren County page does not state a dollar amount, cap, or matching requirement for the heating equipment repair or replacement component.

How to apply

The page directs applicants to the NYS Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance HEAP program page or to apply online through the state application link. It also lists the county phone number for HEAP questions and application help: 518-761-6338.

Timing and deadlines

The page does not give a specific open/close date for this benefit on the HEAP section. It says HEAP is a federally funded program and provides a county contact for assistance, but does not state whether funds are currently open, exhausted, or waitlisted.
