Minor energy related home repairs (cannot be an addition to the property) to a home or heating plant cannot be purchased through the basic LIHEAP heating assistance program. Therefore, emergency fuel assistance can be made available to an individual homeowner, or an eligible renter with verifiable responsibility for such costs, up to $200.00 per season (for exceptions, see 415-50-15), to replace damaged windows and doors or other home repairs, or to make minor repairs to the household's furnace, heating plant or chimney (other than normal maintenance -- see 415-20-05-10-05), but only if these services cannot be provided through Weatherization Services administered by the Community Action Program. See 415-50-05-15 for furnace replacement policy.
