Worked example: one Michigan home
Take a 3-ton air-source system (2 outdoor units) replacing natural gas heat. These are example inputs, not typical prices. Each program's own rule gives the amounts below; where one program has several tiers only the largest one counts, separate programs add up, and a percentage offer with no cost entered is shown at its ceiling.
| Utility | Not income-qualified | Moderate income | Low income | Replacing baseboard |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Consumers Energy | $350 | $350 | $350 | $350 |
For a household that is not income-qualified, the example comes to $350, made of $350 from Consumers Energy heat pumps (Ductless mini-split heat pump). None of the open offers has a separate income-qualified amount, so every household gets the same figure.
Who can use these Michigan offers
Every household in Michigan covered by Consumers Energy and MiHER can apply; the offers are not limited to one utility's territory. None of these program pages lists an end date, and each can change or stop while funds last.
Federal credit and state IRA rebates
The Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (IRC §25C) paid 30% of cost, up to $2,000 a year (heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, biomass stoves and boilers combined). The IRS page says: “can claim the credit for improvements made through December 31, 2025.” Not allowed for property placed in service after December 31, 2025. Source: IRS: Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit, 26 U.S.C. §25C, as amended by Public Law 119-21 (July 4, 2025). See what the credit covered and when it ended.
Michigan Home Energy Rebates (MiHER): Limited. Open for low- and moderate-income households, but new income-qualified applications in the Detroit, Warren, Grand Rapids, Lansing and Kalamazoo districts are “temporarily unavailable while MiHER reviews current applications and funding capacity.” HEAR is for households at or below 150% of area median income; the pages publish no per-upgrade amounts.
