Consumers Energy (Gas) - Residential Energy Efficiency Program

July 08, 2022

Summary

Consumers Energy residential gas customers are eligible to apply for a variety of rebates on energy efficient equipment. Furnaces, boilers, water heating units, insulation, windows, doors, energy audits and comprehensive improvements are eligible under this program. Customers must install equipment in the Consumers Energy service area and receive gas service from Consumers Energy for the appliance purchased. Consumers Energy may verify sales transactions and that installed energy-saving measures meet all applicable building codes, zoning laws, local, state, and federal requirements. A contractor’s invoice itemizing the purchased equipment and indicating type, make, model, price, serial numbers, and date of purchase must accompany each Consumers Energy Incentive Request Form. Contact Consumers Energy or visit the program web site listed above for further details.

The Helping Neighbors program is an additional income-qualified program offered to Consumers Energy customers. Customers who meet income and eligibility requirements receive a free home energy assessment, as well as energy efficiency measures including the installation of water pipe insulation, LED bulbs, new shower heads, faucet aerators and programmable thermostats.
