Critical Repair Program

The city is encouraged to work with the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, weatherization provider for Lancaster county when non-operable furnaces require repair or replacement. LIHEAP/WAP can cover these costs in certain circumstances. In some instances these cannot be repaired if other elements of the home are damaged so using critical repair to fix those issues and allowing LIHEAP/WAP to fix the furnace allows for the greatest stretching of available funds.
