Your application paperwork

Minnesota's Energy Assistance Program helps income-qualified homeowners and renters pay home heating costs and covers repair or replacement of a homeowner's broken heating system. One application also qualifies you for the free Weatherization Assistance Program. It is delivered by local service providers, so you apply through the provider that serves your area.

Steps to apply

  1. Confirm your household income is within the limit for your household size.
  2. Complete the Minnesota energy programs application online, or download it and mail it to your local service provider.
  3. Find your local service provider or request an application by calling 800-657-3710.
  4. If eligible, receive heating bill help (and furnace repair or replacement if needed); your application also feeds the free Weatherization Assistance Program.

Documents you will likely need

  • Proof of household income for the last three months for everyone in the home.
  • A recent heating and electric bill.
  • Proof you live at the address.
  • Social Security numbers for household members, as the application requires.

Requirements vary by program and locality. Confirm the exact rules on the official program page. We can help you prepare your paperwork, but you submit it yourself.

Deadline: October 1 - May 31 each year
