To qualify, a customer’s gross household income must be at or below 150 percent of the federal poverty level, which would be about $36,450 for a family of four.
Customers are encouraged to apply for residential weatherization programs, available for families that are at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty guidelines, or about $48,600 for a family of four.
