The Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) provides financial assistance to offset the costs of heating and/or cooling your home or rental properties, as well as the costs of “weatherization,” or minor repairs to make your home or property safer and more energy efficient.

To qualify, you must be a resident or property owner in an eligible city, and have total household monthly gross income within the HEAP income guidelines.
Created in 2010, LBCAP’s HEAP program

2020 Outcomes:
• 16,387 households with energy assistance
• 471 homes made safer and more efficient
• 5,862 seniors and 6,321disabled people assisted
• $4.2 million invested in the community

Utility Assistance
This program provides financial assistance with residential utility bill payment, and emergency assistance with residential energy-related crises, such as shut-off notices. If you qualify, you can receive assistance with either your gas or electric bill, in the form of one payment each year.

Weatherization
The Weatherization Program provides minor home repairs to make your home safer and more energy efficient. If you qualify, LBCAP sends its team of professionals to perform the work. We base the improvements on individual unit assessments. They may include:
• Doors
• Windows
• Weather stripping
• Caulking
• Low-flow shower heads
• Attic insulation
• Other improvements

Process:
Home Assessment Fact Sheet for Customers
Assessment Agencies and Assessors

When you apply for SCE’s Energy Savings Assistance Program (ESAP), SCE sends an Assessment Agency to evaluate your home for services. The Agency works for SCE under contract.
Assessment means “gathering information.” An assessor from the Agency visits your home:
• To check that your income makes you eligible for services
• To check that your home needs the services and that it is feasible for SCE to provide them, and
• To give you information about energy costs and energy efficiency.

How Does Assessment Work?
There are three parts to the Assessment process:
1. Income Qualification: You have to prove that your annual household income makes you eligible for the Program. You can do this by giving the assessor copies of income documents covering each person in your household. Income documents can include paycheck stubs, W-2 forms and bank statements, among other things. If your total household income is under the top limit, the assessor then goes on to Pre-Screening.
2. Pre-Screening: The assessor has to look at some of the appliances in your home, and you may have to answer a few basic questions. The answers tell the assessor whether to go on and see if it is feasible to provide any services. “Feasible “ means “can be done effectively.”
3. Feasibility Evaluation: The assessor walks around your home and looks more carefully at it, both inside and outside. It has to be feasible to install the services, or SCE cannot provide them. For example: if a replacement refrigerator won’t fit into the space in an eligible customer’s kitchen, it’s not feasible for SCE to install it.

Eligibility:
Most qualified ESAP customers are also eligible for a 20% discount on their SCE bill through the CARE Program.

To be eligible for ESAP services, you must:
• Be an SCE customer served on a residential electric meter
• Own your home, or if you rent, have the homeowner’s written permission (on a signed Owner’s Waiver form) before you can receive the services.
• Have a total annual household income that meets California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) requirements.
• Meet ESAP eligibility requirements for each service, and
• Not have received ESAP services during the previous (10) years. (Exception: if you only received some of the services, you may still be eligible for the others).
