Construction Heat
Save time and money while improving safety
By using natural gas to provide temporary heat, builders can work faster and keep the construction site warm to cure concrete, dry paint, thaw frozen ground and stay on schedule. Switching to natural gas can save up to 50 percent over propane heat.
Check Service Area
The Michigan Public Service Commission maintains a list of all electric and natural gas utilities registered in the state of Michigan.

Prepare for service
A site is “ready for service” when:

- Service path from the street to the meter location is clear of obstructions
- The meter location is clearly marked.
Your meter will be set soon after installation or, if eligible, you will be able to use our Express Set process.
