Benbrook is about 41 miles from the Census center point for Dallas in a straight line and covers 10.762 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 10,062 occupied homes in Benbrook, 24% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 73% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4807552, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 73% of Benbrook homes, ahead of gas at 24%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Benbrook has about the Tarrant County oil share of 0% and 6 points more electric heat than the county's 67% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US48439, checked 2026-10-19).
Benbrook has 10,702 housing units, 1% built before 1940 and 43% before 1980, with 24% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4807552, checked 2026-10-19).
Benbrook has 12 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 36% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US48439, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Benbrook home was built in 1983 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4807552, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.5 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4807552, checked 2026-10-19).
69% of Benbrook homes are single-family detached, 8% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 18% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4807552, checked 2026-10-19).
33% of Benbrook homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4807552, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 69% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
No electric utility is on file for Benbrook on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Median household income in Benbrook is $86,292 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4807552, 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: 22F.

That 22F figure is the Tarrant County cold-day number a Benbrook heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 22F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Benbrook home has 5.5 rooms and was built around 1983, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
