Free Home Heating Oil Program Oil Heat

Get free heating oil from the Oil Heat program. In partnership with gas company CITGO, Citizens Energy works closely with thousands of heating oil and fuel dealers across the nation, and also partners with local fuel assistance agencies in 24 states to provide either free or low priced deliveries of home heating oil to those who need it to help paying winter heating bills. This year the Oil Heat Program provided families that needed help a one-time delivery of 100 gallons of home heating oil. Over 1.2 million families are helped each and every year.

While the federal government does provide some aid to low-income families who are struggling to stay warm during the winter through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), this federal program reaches only about one in five eligible families. And there are countless other working poor families who do not qualify for federal assistance programs, but they still need help from time to time, and this program from Citizen Energy can help those in need.

The Citizens Energy Oil Heat Program works hard to provide struggling families with some comfort and a bit of relief when temperatures hit freezing, and when high heating fuel oil prices force families to make difficult and often unsafe tradeoffs, between oil and food, or medicine. The CITGO-Venezuela Heating Oil Program helped more than 200,000 households last winter, according to officials.
