In the Detroit area, the help is through THAW (The Heat And Warmth fund) that DTE Energy (our electricity provider) sponsors. The problem is, so many people have applied for assistance this year that the fund is practically empty. The big fund raiser for it is the second week in February. DTE has announced that they stopped using those limiters in the Detroit area. They aren't the company that services Bay City. The part of this story that bothers me the most is this:
The limiter was tripped sometime between the time of installation and the discovery of Schur's body, Belleman said. He didn't know if anyone had made personal contact with Schur to explain how the device works.
Apparently you can re-set the device, although, they also said that they shut off that device after 10 days if the bill is not paid.
