Wisconsin residents can now apply for assistance with their heating and electric bills this winter.
The Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program (WHEAP) has begun accepting applications for the 2026-2027 heating season, offering low-income families and individuals a lifeline to help keep the lights on and their homes heated during the colder months.
In order to be eligible for WHEAP, applicants must fall within certain income guidelines for the program based on the number of people living in any one household.
If approved, assistance with heating and electric bills will run from October through May of next year.
Those living in Sheboygan County who are eligible can call Energy Services, Inc. at 920-287-7800 to apply.
Anyone can apply for WHEAP benefits online by visiting EnergyBenefit.Wi.gov.
