Heat pump installation in Irving, TX - rebates, sizing and local data

Irving in numbers

Irving has 256,492 residents (give or take 91) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US4837000, checked 2026-10-19), about 3,829 people per square mile.

Irving is about 13 miles from the Census center point for Dallas in a straight line and covers 66.979 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).

The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Irving that is 75038, 75039, 75060, 75061, 75062, 75063 (Census 2020 ZCTA to county subdivision and ZCTA to place relationship files, ZIP areas at least 20% inside the town, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_cousub20_natl.txt and https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_place20_natl.txt, checked 2026-10-19).

Median household income in Irving is $81,830 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4837000, 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.

3,829 people per square mile puts Irving in suburban density, where the outdoor unit usually sits in a side yard and the noise is not an issue for neighbors.

Multi-family first

39% of Irving homes are single-family detached, 8% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 48% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4837000, checked 2026-10-19).

With 48% of Irving homes in buildings of five or more units and 39% detached, the condo association usually decides where outdoor units can go, so that approval comes before the quote. With 62% of Irving homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4837000, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.

Irving has 13 points fewer detached houses than Dallas County overall (52%) and 11 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 37% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US48113, checked 2026-10-19).

With 62% of Irving homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4837000, checked 2026-10-19), most heat pump quotes here are landlord-driven: the landlord signs the contract and picks the equipment, and the tenant sees the lower bill.

Heating fuel in Irving

Of the 94,845 occupied homes in Irving, 33% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 65% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4837000, checked 2026-10-19).

Electricity already heats 65% of Irving homes, ahead of gas at 33%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.

Irving has about the Dallas County oil share of 0% and 3 points more electric heat than the county's 62% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US48113, checked 2026-10-19).

Your utility and the rebate

No electric utility is on file for Irving on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.

Age of the stock

Irving has 102,512 housing units, 1% built before 1940 and 36% before 1980, with 28% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4837000, checked 2026-10-19).

Irving tracks Dallas County on housing age, with the county at 3% pre-1940 and 27% post-2000 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US48113, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Irving home was built in 1986 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4837000, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 4.3 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4837000, checked 2026-10-19).

Sizing for Dallas County

Heating design temperature: 22F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Dallas County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 115 to 125 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 22F figure is the Dallas County cold-day number a Irving 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.

Next step

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Irving home has 4.3 rooms and was built around 1986, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
