You qualify for a rebate if DTE is the primary provider of your home’s heat (most DTE natural gas and natural gas/electric combination customers qualify). Single-family homes and homes with less than five connected housing units are eligible. Your home must have a separate entrance and a separate meter. New construction homes do not qualify.

The U-factor is used to express the insulation value of windows. The lower the U-factor, the better. In Michigan, we look for windows with a U-factor less than or equal to 0.30.
