Windows and Insulation Rebates

Saving Energy in a More Comfortable Home

Upgrading to ENERGY STAR® windows, glass doors and insulation is kind of magical. It's not just that it reduces your heating and cooling costs. It's that it does so while eliminating drafts and evening out temperatures, so that every room in your home will be comfortable for you and your family.

When you save energy, you're saving it for Michigan too. That's why we offer you rebates to support your upgrades. With up to $475 for insulation, $40 per door and $15 per window rated ENERGY STAR Northern Climate Zone, you can earn a lot back on your upgrades while saving on your energy bill too. Interested? Read on to learn how it works.
