Fuel Assistance

We understand that life doesn’t always go as planned—whether it’s a job loss, unexpected expenses, or a growing family. When challenges arise, staying warm should never be a vulnerability. Baribault Fuel is proud to participate in a variety of heating assistance programs to support our community. 

While these programs offer important help, they may not cover all of your heating needs. If you’re a CEAP customer, we also recommend exploring our flexible payment options, like our Pre-Payment Plan or Budget Plan, to help make things a little easier. 

Learn more about our payment options
or give us a call at (860) 274-3284—we’re here for you.
