A way for people to save a significant amount of money on their utility bills is from the federal government weatherization program. Qualified low income customers can apply for and receive free Weatherization Assistance from the Ohio Department of Development, which receives funding from the federal government. It can pay for repairs, updates to homes, and energy conserving updates.

Another federal government funded resource is the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) as well as the Winter Crisis Program (WCP). The HEAP program will offer low income customers a credit on their heating or monthly utility bill. It is used for paying more of the recurring type bills. If you are faced with a crisis or are faced with a shut off, then the Winter Crisis Program may be the best option for you. The crisis program provides an emergency cash grant type payment to assist low income customers of Dominion East Ohio with avoiding a shut off of their service. The emergency grant can also be used to assist customers with restoring their gas service, and can apply for connection fees and deposits.
