Heating Assistance Available to Dominion Customers

Here's how to get help with your heating bills this winter.

With Arlington expecting a dusting of snow Tuesday night and temperatures in the 30s, heating bills are high for area residents.

Dominion Virginia Power is reminding customers that assistance is available for high heating bills this winter through the utility company’s Energy Share grants.

Eligible customers may get a one-time payout of up to $600 to offset heating costs this winter. More than 12,000 customers received assistance in 2012.
