October is Energy Efficiency Awareness Month, a great time to take simple steps that can help make your home more comfortable, reduce energy waste and lower energy costs.
Whether you’re looking for quick upgrades or larger home improvements, DTE Energy offers rebates, tips and tools to help you save.
Simple ways to save this fall
Getting started can be easy. Consider these energy-saving tips as temperatures begin to cool:
- Adjust your thermostat a few degrees when you’re away or sleeping.
- Seal drafts around windows and doors.
- Replace older light bulbs with LEDs.
- Use smart home products to better manage your energy use.
Warm up to bigger savings
DTE can help you prepare for the colder Michigan weather ahead and make upgrading your comfort more affordable. Through Dec. 15, DTE residential gas customers can upgrade to a qualifying high-efficiency furnace and save up to $700, including a $300 limited-time offer bonus rebate on top of DTE’s standard rebate. If you’re sticking with your current furnace, you may also qualify for a tune-up rebate of up to $150 through a participating contractor. Visit dteenergy.com/hvac to get your rebate.
Make every moment feel just right
