What applies across Indiana
Indiana law bars electric and natural gas utilities from disconnecting a customer between December 1 and March 15 if the customer is receiving Energy Assistance Program help, or has qualified for it, applied at the local intake office and given the utility written proof. Disconnection can still happen in an emergency, for fraudulent use, for meter tampering, or if the customer requests it.

The winter disconnection moratorium applies to investor-owned and municipal electric and gas utilities and to rural electric membership cooperatives. It does not apply to bulk fuel providers such as propane, or to water, sewage disposal or telecommunications providers.

A utility must postpone a disconnection for 10 days if the customer provides a medical statement from a licensed doctor or a public health official.

Before you hire
Have fuel-burning appliances such as a furnace or boiler inspected by a professional at least once a year.
Get written quotes from at least three contractors for the same work, and check references from recent clients.
Put it in a written contract: the work, price, deposit, start and finish dates, warranty, permits and clean-up. Paying cash to skip it leaves you no recourse.
