How it works

Qualifying room air conditioners must meet ENERGY STAR® specifications. Review our Qualified Room Air Conditioner List and purchase an ENERGY STAR®-certified room air conditioner. Limit of one room air conditioner per customer. Refurbished or resale units do not qualify for a rebate.
Please note: If you received an instant discount when purchasing your new unit at a retail store you are not eligible for an additional rebate.
Apply for your rebate online. It’s easy:
- Fill in the name and address of the DTE account holder and the DTE account number. (Your account number is available on your paper bill or online account).

Air Conditioning Tips
Get Cool Savings
ENERGY STAR® room air conditioners use 10% less energy and can cost less than $75 per year to run, on average.
Optimize Performance
Place your room air conditioner in a shaded window. Heat from sunlight might cause the unit thermostat to misread room temperature and run longer. A TV or lamp placed near the unit might have the same effect.
Insulate for Savings
Install insulation materials included with your AC unit. Be sure to also inspect your home insulation. On average, 10% to 25% of energy used to cool homes escapes through air leaks.
