Grand Rapids / Tecumseh
Tecumseh has 8,646 residents (give or take 41) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US2679120, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,531 people per square mile.
Tecumseh is about 109 miles from the Census center point for Grand Rapids in a straight line and covers 5.649 square miles of land (Census 2024 Gazetteer internal points and land area, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/gazetteer/2024_Gazetteer/, checked 2026-10-19).
Of the 3,851 occupied homes in Tecumseh, 78% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 21% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US2679120, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 78% of Tecumseh against electricity at 21%, so most quotes here are a partial-home system that carries the shoulder seasons and the summer while the gas furnace handles the coldest nights, or a whole-home system when the house is ready for it.
Tecumseh has about the Lenawee County oil share of 2% and 13 points more electric heat than the county's 8% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US26091, checked 2026-10-19).
Tecumseh has 4,006 housing units, 13% built before 1940 and 56% before 1980, with 16% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2679120, checked 2026-10-19).
Tecumseh has 11 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Lenawee County as a whole (24%) and 3 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 13% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US26091, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Tecumseh home was built in 1975 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US2679120, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.6 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US2679120, checked 2026-10-19).
66% of Tecumseh homes are single-family detached, 13% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 13% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US2679120, checked 2026-10-19).
30% of Tecumseh homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2679120, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 66% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Tecumseh has 14 points fewer detached houses than Lenawee County overall (80%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US26091, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Tecumseh 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 Tecumseh address before counting it. With 21% of Tecumseh homes already on electric heat and 79% 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 Tecumseh address before counting it.
Median household income in Tecumseh is $62,835 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US2679120, 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.
Heating design temperature: 3F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Lenawee 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 3F figure is the Lenawee County cold-day number a Tecumseh heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 3F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 78% of Tecumseh on gas and 21% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Tecumseh home has 5.6 rooms and was built around 1975, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
