New Phone Number for Energy Assistance

New LIHEAP phone number 407-933-9540.

The Osceola Council on Aging's Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) has a new direct phone number. Skip the main number menu and go directly to the energy assistance department by dialing 407-933-9540. You can still call the main number (407-846-8532) to access assistance however using the direct number is easier and more convenient.
