HeatAid

HeatAid is a mobile + web app that helps households in or near energy poverty quickly identify bill relief options and reduce waste without expensive upgrades. Users upload a utility bill (photo/PDF) and answer a short housing questionnaire; the app flags likely eligibility for local subsidies, arrears grants, weatherization programs, and emergency funds, then generates a step-by-step application checklist with required documents and deadlines. It also provides a “next best action” plan: thermostat targets, peak-time avoidance, appliance load tips, and simple DIY fixes matched to the home type. For nonprofits and councils, a lightweight caseworker dashboard tracks referrals, document status, and outcomes (approved/denied, savings). This is not a magic bill-lowering tool—most value comes from navigating fragmented programs and reducing drop-off in applications.
