Utility rebate assistance in Metro Detroit: what to expect
Utility rebate assistance helps you find which programs apply, plan the upgrades in the right order, and get the paperwork filed correctly. Many rebates require testing before and after the work, specific equipment, or a participating contractor, and missing a step can cost you the rebate.
In Metro Detroit, the utility on your account matters: DTE Energy serves most of the region, and some areas get natural gas from Consumers Energy. The state Michigan Home Energy Rebates (MiHER) program runs separately through registered contractors. Most rebates are for insulation, air sealing, heating and cooling equipment and windows, so a home energy audit is often the first step.
What a proper job includes
- Review of your utility accounts and home details
- List of programs you may qualify for right now
- Upgrade plan matched to program rules
- Pre-work testing when a program requires it
- Help choosing participating or registered contractors
- Paperwork review and filing support
- Post-work testing and follow-up on status
What drives the price
- Number of programs and upgrades involved
- Whether testing before and after is required
- Income-qualified program documentation
- Coordination with several contractors
- Filing done by you, the contractor or the advisor
- Home versus rental or multifamily property

Credentials and rebates in Michigan
Programs change often. DTE Energy's Home Energy Assessment has contractors submit rebate forms for eligible customers, and Consumers Energy's Home Solutions program pays rebates through participating contractors. MiHER has paused new income-qualified applications in some districts, including Detroit and Warren. Always confirm current offers and eligibility with the utility or program before starting work. The federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C), which covered some home energy audits, ended for expenditures or property placed in service after December 31, 2025.
Michigan does not issue a state license specific to energy auditing, so ask about national credentials. The state's Home Energy Rebates program accepts auditors with credentials such as BPI Building Analyst, BPI Energy Auditor or a RESNET HERS Rater certification. Any insulation, HVAC or electrical work that follows is done by contractors holding the LARA license for that trade, with permits where required.
