Heater Repair Program (HEARTWAP)
An unexpected expense, like a broken heater, can place unwanted strain on your finances and your health.
Our Heater Repair Program provides homeowners and some tenants with repairs and replacement of heaters. Though the program is primarily run as an emergency-based program, the program will also clean and tune or replace poor or inoperable heaters.
In combination with our Fuel Assistance, Appliance Management, and Weatherization programs, you can have peace of mind when it comes to your home and wallet. All programs and more are open to you if you’re eligible for Fuel Assistance.
