Utility and energy help in New York
Help paying heating, cooling and electric bills, and free home energy upgrades.
Help with heating and cooling bills comes mainly through LIHEAP, run by each state, and free home energy upgrades come through the Weatherization Assistance Program.
Applications usually open by season, and many states run out of funds, so apply early.
