Challenges including inflation and the ongoing effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic could make it as difficult as ever for Americans to pay their energy bills this winter.
In fact, we’ve already seen headlines this fall indicating inflation has caused nearly one-third of Americans to struggle to pay their bills and that many U.S. households could spend more on energy this winter as a result of higher energy costs and cold-weather forecasts.
As a propane industry leader, Ferrellgas understands the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services’ Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and can direct customers to important resources for energy assistance based on where they live.
Ferrellgas offers a Budget Billing that helps customers spread their annual propane payments over a period of nine or 12 months. Credit-approved customers can sign up for the free Budget Billing program at any time.
Despite these helpful programs as well as the energy-saving tips it provides to customers throughout the year, Ferrellgas understands that sometimes additional help is needed. The company’s customer-service personnel has the knowledge needed to quickly steer customers in the right direction.
