Dallas / Murphy
Murphy has 21,188 residents (give or take 56) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US4850100, checked 2026-10-19), about 3,719 people per square mile.
Murphy is about 18 miles from the Census center point for Dallas in a straight line and covers 5.697 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 Murphy that is 75094 (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).
3,719 people per square mile puts Murphy in suburban density, where the outdoor unit usually sits in a side yard and the noise is not an issue for neighbors.
Of the 6,015 occupied homes in Murphy, 77% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 22% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4850100, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 77% of Murphy against electricity at 22%, and a cold-climate heat pump sized for this market replaces the gas system outright, so the usual quote is a whole-home install.
Murphy has about the Collin County oil share of 0% and 28 points less electric heat than the county's 50% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US48085, checked 2026-10-19).
Murphy has 6,030 housing units, 0% built before 1940 and 5% before 1980, with 81% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4850100, checked 2026-10-19).
Murphy has 24 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 57% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US48085, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Murphy home was built in 2005 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4850100, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 8.1 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4850100, checked 2026-10-19).
98% of Murphy homes are single-family detached, 0% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 1% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4850100, checked 2026-10-19).
With 98% detached houses and 0% in small multi-family buildings, a Murphy quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 6% of Murphy homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4850100, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Murphy has 30 points more detached houses than Collin County overall (68%) and 24 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 25% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US48085, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 6% of Murphy homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4850100, checked 2026-10-19), so nearly every quote here is the resident talking to the installer directly, and the rebate goes to the person living in the house.
81% of Murphy housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4850100, 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 Murphy 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 Murphy is $175,699 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4850100, 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: 20F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Collin 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 20F figure is the Collin County cold-day number a Murphy heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 20F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 77% of Murphy on gas and 22% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Murphy home has 8.1 rooms and was built around 2005, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
