Low Income Home Energy Assistance Programs (LIHEAP) in DE, PA, & MD
Keeping all families warm in the winter and cool in the summer regardless of income level is our number one mission at Hillside.
The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), is a federal grant designed to temporarily help low-income households who cannot afford to pay their heating bills. Administered at the state level, this one-time payment is sent directly to your utility company or fuel provider and credited to your bill. Grants, which do not need to be repaid, range from $200 to $1,000 depending on household size, income, and fuel type, providing crucial support to families facing the immediate danger of being without heat.
If you are eligible for your state’s LIHEAP program, call Hillside Oil Heating & Cooling today at 302-738-4144 (DE&PA) or 410-398-2146 (MD) to schedule your home heating oil delivery.

How Does LIHEAP Work?
LIHEAP offers cash and crisis grants to help families with heating costs.
- Cash Grants: These one-time payments range from $200 to $1,000, based on household size, income, and fuel type. The funds are typically sent directly to your utility company or fuel provider and credited to your bill. In some cases, the check may be sent directly to you.
- Crisis Grants:If you’re facing an emergency, such as a lack of fuel or termination of utility service, crisis grants can help. You can receive multiple crisis grants during the season, up to a maximum of $800. Crises include broken heating equipment, low fuel supply (less than 15 days), or receiving a shut-off notice for utility service.
