The Insulation Program is designed to improve the energy performance and durability of existing residential housing in DTE service territories. The program offers financial incentives to homeowners for the installation of qualifying insulation measures in eligible single- and multifamily dwellings (2 or fewer connected units).
The objective of the program is to increase the demand for energy-efficient improvements for insulation to produce long-term electric and natural gas energy savings to DTE residential customers. The rebates help offset the cost difference between choosing a standard product and an energy-efficient one.
