Fuel Assistance: Low and moderate-income people may be eligible for assistance to help pay your heating bills. The average benefit is $500 and does not have to be paid back. To see if you qualify based on your income at http://www.nh.gov/oep/programs/energy/income_eligibility_guidelines.htm
Electricity Assistance: You may be able to receive discounts on your electric bills. The discounts range from 5% to 70%, depending on the size of your household and your income.
Note: NH law provides some protection to consumers if you can not pay your electric bill. From November 15 to March 31, an electric utility may not disconnect you if the balance owed is less than $450 (for those who heat with electricity) or less than $225 (for those who do not heat with electricity). Utilities must get approval from the Public Utilities Commission before disconnecting your service known to be 65 years or older or customers with a known financial hardship.
Home Weatherization: You may be able to get help from federal government's "weatherization program". Grants from this program may help you replace your furnace, repair your roof or make other improvements to reduce energy use. Low and moderate-income, elderly and disabled people and families with small children receive priority help.
Have an Expert help you cut energy use: Many utility companies and private businesses will send someone to your home to provide an "energy audit". These professionals will advise you on which home improvements or conservation measures will make the difference in your home. They can also help you apply for rebates to offset the cost of certain types of improvement. 1% loans are available through the US Dept of Agriculture. Some grant money may also be available.
Energy audits are available to everyone, regardless of income. Call your electric or gas company to find out if they provide this service to their customers for free.
You can also get a list from the NH Residential Energy Performance Association at http://www.repa-nh.org/consumerguide.php. With these listings you will have to pay for the audit, but the company may be willing to reduce the fee or allow you to spread out your payment. Reference: The Cooperator/Fall 2008
Energy saving tips for manufactured homes:
1. Be sure windows fit tightly. Locking the windows assures a tighter fit.
2. Consider additional inside storm windows. You could purchase them at stores such as Lowe's or Home Depot or make them using 4-6millimeter clear polyethylene (plastic). Be sure the weather stripping is in good condition.
3. Be sure storm doors are working properly and seal tightly. Weather stripping should be kept in good working order or replaced
4. Caulking around all windows and doors prevent heat loss. Don't forget other openings such as around outside faucets, electrical connections, etc.
5. Consider installing a vestibule at your main entrance. This will greatly cut down on the amount of heat loss when entering and exiting your home.
6. Be sure to have all skirting in place around your home before winter. You could also add insulation under the homes and the skirting for extra protection.
7. Be sure to insulate all heating ducts that could be exposed under your home.
8. Consider adding a sloped roof and additional insulation to the top of your home.
9. Use a heat tape that has thermostat or consider installing a newer, more efficient one. Switches can be installed in the home so that people don't have to crawl underneath to activate (or turn off) the heat tapes.
10. Unplug your heat tape from April to November.
11. Keep furniture away from registers - proper heat flow is necessary to run efficiently.
