With 16% of West Bloomfield homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US2612585480, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.

Rebate path

No electric utility is on file for West Bloomfield on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.

DTE Energy heating and cooling rebates (southeast Michigan only), run by DTE Energy, is a live program for Michigan addresses and covers qualifying equipment at $1,500 per system (registry row 19 verified 2026-10-15, https://www.dteenergy.com/us/en/residential/save-money-energy/rebates-and-offers/air-conditioners.html, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the West Bloomfield address before counting it. With 9% of West Bloomfield homes already on electric heat and 90% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.

Consumers Energy Home Solutions 2026 (ASHP), run by Consumers Energy, is a live program for Michigan addresses and lists a standard figure of $300 (registry row 50 verified 2026-10-15, https://www.consumersenergy.com/residential/savings-and-clean-energy/rebates/heating-and-cooling, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the West Bloomfield address before counting it.

Median household income in West Bloomfield is $125,453 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=060XX00US2612585480, checked 2026-10-19); many state and utility heat pump rebate programs set higher incentive tiers for income-qualifying households, so the household income on the application, not the town median, decides which level applies.

Cold-day number

Heating design temperature: 4F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Oakland County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 56 to 60 of 141 (Revised 11/11/2020), https://www.energystar.gov/sites/default/files/Design%20Temperature%20Limit%20Reference%20Guide%20(2019%20Ed)%20-%20ENERGY%20STAR%20Single-Family%20New%20Homes_Rev11.pdf, fetched 2026-10-19, 99%.

That 4F figure is the Oakland County cold-day number a West Bloomfield heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 4F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.

Next step

Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 88% of West Bloomfield on gas and 9% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median West Bloomfield home has 7.3 rooms and was built around 1980, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
