LIHEAP Heating Grants for UGI Customers
UGI Utilities tells its customers about LIHEAP, Pennsylvania's Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, which gives energy assistance grants to income-qualified customers to help with the cost of heat. The 2025-2026 LIHEAP season is now closed.
There are two types of grants, cash and crisis. Cash grants do not require that you have an unpaid bill. Crisis grants require an emergency situation: broken heating equipment or leaking gas lines that must be fixed or replaced, being without fuel, utility service termination, or being in danger of being without fuel or having utility service terminated. Assistance for those in emergency situations is available 24 hours a day, and your local county assistance office can tell you more.
If you are eligible for a LIHEAP cash grant, the payment is sent directly to UGI and credited to your natural gas account. Crisis grants are additional money for people in danger of losing their heat.
Eligibility is based on household income at 150% of the federal poverty income guidelines. Under the 2025-2026 guidelines, one person can earn up to $23,475 a year, which is $1,956 a month, and a family of four can earn up to $48,225 a year, or $4,019 a month. The other annual limits are $31,725 for two people, $39,975 for three, $56,475 for five, $64,725 for six, $72,975 for seven and $81,225 for eight, with $8,250 more per person a year, or $687 more a month, for households above eight.
Applications are processed by the county assistance office, not by UGI. Have these ready:
- your heating bill
- the names, birthdates and social security numbers for all household members
- proof of income for all household members
On the application, look for the checkbox that lets you share your household income data with public utility companies like UGI. That allows utilities to streamline enrollment in assistance programs and may reduce paperwork for you. Once the county assistance office processes your application, you will receive a letter stating whether you were approved or denied for LIHEAP.
UGI's published phone number for general questions is 800-276-2722. That is also the number to call if you smell gas or have a power outage.
The page does not give the address or hours of the county assistance office, the grant amounts, or the date the next LIHEAP season opens, so ask the county assistance office when you are ready to apply.
