For 45 years, Rockford resident Frank K. relied on propane to heat his home. The need for frequent refills and increasing costs had him looking for a more convenient and affordable option. That’s when he turned to DTE Energy to make the switch to natural gas. “It’s been three years, and we’ve broken even already. Now, in the future, we’ll be able to recognize the savings. The savings should be $800 to $1,200 a year,” Frank shared. He said he was impressed with how easy the process was. “We were in Florida while they were doing the work, and their DTE Gas team kept in touch with us, letting us know how things were going throughout the process,” he recalled.
Frank said natural gas also gives him peace of mind. “Now, when we travel for the winter, we don’t have to worry, since running out of fuel is no longer a concern for those who switch to natural gas from other heating sources,” he said. Stories like Frank’s are becoming more common as DTE expands natural gas access to additional communities across Michigan. Through ongoing investments to modernize infrastructure, DTE is safely serving customers with the reliable natural gas service they expect and deserve while preparing communities for future growth.
