Heating Reconnection

Emergency Services assistance will be provided within 48-hours from the date the client’s application is complete (that is, when all documentation has been submitted); 18-hours if the energy crisis is life-threatening. A life-threatening situation exists if:

· The temperature is 32 degrees Fahrenheit or below.

· The house is not protected by Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) rules or local laws.

· Reconnection is the only available remedy; i.e., the household does not have alternate shelter, lacks a safe temporary means of heat or is homebound.
