The Dominion Energy company (formerly known as Questar) provides natural gas assistance to a few states, including Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming. They administer and direct low income customers to programs such as LIHEAP, Energy Share, weatherization, and H.E.A.T. Some of the programs provide emergency cash or grants for paying your Dominion Energy bills, and other resources will help people save money on their energy bills
Energy savings from Weatherization
The free weatherization program is offered in all states and regions that Questar services. This is an energy savings/conservation program for qualified low-income individuals and families. A focus in on families with children, the disabled, and senior citizens. Weatherization will help make homes more energy efficient and allow people to save money, especially during the cold winter or a hot summer stretch of weather. The federal government funds the weatherization program in all states.
In Idaho, the program is administered by local Southeast Idaho Community Action Agencies (SEICA). Income requirements and other qualifications need to be met. The income requirements are set by the state and the federal government, and they are basically the same as those of the LIHEAP program (see below). Call 208-852-1515 for more details on weatherization.
Residents of the state of Utah can also apply for the weatherization program. Qualified Dominion Energy low-income persons and families in this state can also benefit from the program. Some examples of what can be provided include tune up of a heating unit, insulation, caulking, and even items such as CFL energy efficient light bulbs. All of these updates will help people save money on their natural gas bills.
The Weatherization program is run by the Utah Department of Community & Economic Development and local community action agencies accept and process applications. The income requirements in Utah are basically the same as those of the HEAT program, which is referenced below. Please contact your local HEAT or community action agency for assistance.
Financial assistance and grants to help pay bills from Dominion Energy
Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is available in Idaho.

To apply, call Dominion Energy for information, or contact your Department of Human Services or a designated energy office in your region of Utah.
Wyoming families can apply for Energy Share. This is funded by donations and contributions from businesses, Dominion Energy customers, employees, local charities and shareholders. This financial assistance program helps people in sudden hardship circumstances or who are faced with a crisis.

REACH is another option for families in Utah. It is also paid for by contributions and donations from stockholders, local residents, utility employees and others.

This is an option of last resort, and customers must have applied for financial assistance through the state's H.E.A.T. program and/or LIHEAP before applying. Contact your local community action office for an application, or look here for a local community action agency near you.
