Of the 342,126 occupied homes in Fort Worth, 30% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 68% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4827000, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 68% of Fort Worth homes, ahead of gas at 30%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Fort Worth has about the Tarrant County oil share of 0% and 1 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).
Fort Worth has 373,948 housing units, 6% built before 1940 and 34% before 1980, with 43% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4827000, checked 2026-10-19).
Fort Worth has 3 points more pre-1940 homes than Tarrant County as a whole (3%) and 7 points more 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). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
The median Fort Worth home was built in 1994 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4827000, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.3 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4827000, checked 2026-10-19).
65% of Fort Worth homes are single-family detached, 5% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 25% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4827000, checked 2026-10-19).
43% of Fort Worth homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4827000, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 65% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
43% of Fort Worth homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4827000, checked 2026-10-19), so the market splits between resident-led jobs where the occupant picks the system and landlord-led jobs where they do not, and the rebate paperwork differs.
43% of Fort Worth housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4827000, checked 2026-10-19), and homes that recent usually meet the insulation codes in place at the time, so a heat pump sized to the floor plan lands closer to the real load than it would in an older neighborhood.
No electric utility is on file for Fort Worth 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 Fort Worth is $79,507 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4827000, 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.

That 22F figure is the Tarrant County cold-day number a Fort Worth 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 Fort Worth home has 5.3 rooms and was built around 1994, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
