Home heating aid

More Mainers will be able to get help paying their heating bills this winter. The state is loosening the eligibility requirements to apply for federal low-income heating assistance. Now anyone who makes less than $20,800 a year can apply. However, the number of applicants is expected to rise, which will lower the average benefit. Click here for more info.

    Good news. Aid for more is beeter. What do you think of programmable thermostats? I heard they can save ~10%. I do not see you mention a dollar or % saved? Also, for those who still need help after using tips, I found this site http://www.helpwithheatingbills.com which gave some ways and programs that help save on heating and utility bills. Help is provided both from the gov’t and utility companies themselves.

Got something to say?
