75% of Glenn Heights homes are single-family detached, 1% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 7% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4829840, checked 2026-10-19).

Median household income in Glenn Heights is $81,718 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4829840, 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 Dallas County cold-day number a Glenn Heights 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 Glenn Heights home has 6 rooms and was built around 2004, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
