YOU'LL BE WARMER, COOLER, SAFER AND GREENER
Fuel Assistance
ABCD administers the federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). If you qualify, we’ll help pay your winter heating bills and you'll receive discounted rates for gas and electricity.
Conservation
With the help of our partners Eversource, ABCD can often lower your electric bills with free energy efficient light bulbs, water conservation materials and possibly a new refrigerator, air conditioner, dehumidifier or front loading washing machine if your existing appliances are inefficient.
Heating Systems
You may be eligible to have your heating system repaired or replaced, get emergency response when you have no heat, and receive equipment tune-ups.
Utility Bill Advocacy
Through our partnerships with National Grid and Eversource, we can help you reduce your overdue utility bills (arrearages) and avoid shutoffs when you adhere to a payment plan structured to meet your needs.
Weatherization
Our Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) helps you reduce your heating and air conditioning costs. We can install attic and wall insulation, weather stripping, and air sealing at no cost.
