Cost of Heating - Secondary Heat Source 415-30-15-05 (Revised 10/1/2023 ML #3750) View Archives

The same LIHEAP Share Percentage and household Co-payment Percentage that has been computed for the primary source of heat will be used to pay a secondary source of heat, with exceptions for electric heating.

Payment on secondary heat sources can be paid throughout the heating season at the established LS percentage.

Secondary electric heat will be paid at 50% of the bill times the LS percentage. Example: Total bill divided by 2, times the LS percentage.

LIHEAP will not pay for non-installed appliances such as space heaters or electric fireplaces.

LIHEAP will not pay for a secondary heat source unless it is used in a primary living space, such as a bedroom that is in use, a kitchen, a living room, or family room.

NOTE: Payment of secondary heat in basement bedrooms is allowed even if the bedrooms in the basement are not counted.

NOTE: THERE ARE NO EMERGENCY PAYMENTS MADE FOR SECONDARY HEAT.
