The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Waxahachie that is 75165 (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).
Of the 15,918 occupied homes in Waxahachie, 26% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 72% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4876816, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 72% of Waxahachie homes, ahead of gas at 26%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Waxahachie has about the Ellis County oil share of 0% and 3 points less electric heat than the county's 75% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US48139, checked 2026-10-19).
Waxahachie has 16,840 housing units, 6% built before 1940 and 27% before 1980, with 59% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4876816, checked 2026-10-19).
Waxahachie has 3 points more pre-1940 homes than Ellis County as a whole (3%) and 5 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 54% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US48139, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
The median Waxahachie home was built in 2004 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4876816, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.5 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4876816, checked 2026-10-19).
72% of Waxahachie homes are single-family detached, 4% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 20% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4876816, checked 2026-10-19).
With 72% detached houses and 4% in small multi-family buildings, a Waxahachie quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 40% of Waxahachie homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4876816, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Waxahachie has 6 points fewer detached houses than Ellis County overall (78%) and 11 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 9% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US48139, checked 2026-10-19).
40% of Waxahachie homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4876816, 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.
59% of Waxahachie housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4876816, 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 Waxahachie 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 Waxahachie is $85,723 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4876816, 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 25F figure is the Ellis County cold-day number a Waxahachie heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 25F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Waxahachie home has 5.5 rooms and was built around 2004, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
