The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Plano that is 75023, 75024, 75025, 75074, 75075, 75093 (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).
4,053 people per square mile puts Plano in suburban density, where the outdoor unit usually sits in a side yard and the noise is not an issue for neighbors.
Of the 112,438 occupied homes in Plano, 47% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 51% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4858016, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 51% of Plano homes, ahead of gas at 47%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Plano has about the Collin County oil share of 0% and 1 points more 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).
Plano has 117,686 housing units, 0% built before 1940 and 18% before 1980, with 31% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4858016, checked 2026-10-19).
Plano has 26 points fewer 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 Plano home was built in 1993 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4858016, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.1 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4858016, checked 2026-10-19).
60% of Plano homes are single-family detached, 4% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 32% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4858016, checked 2026-10-19).
43% of Plano homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4858016, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 60% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Plano has 8 points fewer detached houses than Collin County overall (68%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US48085, checked 2026-10-19).
43% of Plano homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4858016, 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.
No electric utility is on file for Plano 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 Plano is $112,253 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4858016, 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 20F figure is the Collin County cold-day number a Plano 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 for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Plano home has 6.1 rooms and was built around 1993, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
