TreeGuard Assurance
For a low monthly fee of $9.99 a month or just 32¢ a day, you are protected against costly tree clean up and trimming expenses if a tree or branch falls on the service line - the power line between the electric pole and your home – and causes a power outage.
If a tree-related power outage affects the service line, contact us to file a claim and we’ll send a certified tree trim crew out to:
Wind and weather can cause damage to trees that may affect your power and leave destruction in their wake. Don’t tackle the mess on your own or waste time searching for an available tree trim company. When you’re enrolled in TreeGuard Assurance, you know that certified crews will be there to take care of it.
TreeGuard Assurance is an elective program covering tree-related power outages that impact the service line. Tree trimming near service lines is the responsibility of the customer. Because service lines are energized, we recommend using a professional tree trimming service to perform the work.
TreeGuard is in addition to DTE’s ongoing Tree Trimming Program that works near the main power lines to improve reliability for customers. Our trimming methods help prevent tree-related outages while promoting healthy trees and safe, reliable power.
Certified crews have been trained on safe, proper and environmentally-responsible tree care practices. They follow energy industry best practices.
The TreeGuard Assurance program is not regulated by the Michigan Public Service Commission. Tree trimming service may be available from another provider. Your DTE Energy electric account must be current in order to sign up for TreeGuard Assurance. By signing up for TreeGuard Assurance, you are not switching your electric or natural gas utility and service. Your regulated utility rates and the conditions of your service are not affected by activation in TreeGuard Assurance or by your decision to use the services of another tree trimming service provider.
