Of the 5,519 occupied homes in Berea, 24% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 72% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US2105842, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 72% of Berea homes, ahead of gas at 24%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Berea has about the Madison County oil share of 0% and 9 points less electric heat than the county's 81% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US21151, checked 2026-10-19).
Berea has 6,159 housing units, 5% built before 1940 and 35% before 1980, with 36% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2105842, checked 2026-10-19).
Berea tracks Madison County on housing age, with the county at 4% pre-1940 and 37% post-2000 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US21151, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Berea home was built in 1990 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US2105842, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.7 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US2105842, checked 2026-10-19).
61% of Berea homes are single-family detached, 18% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 15% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US2105842, checked 2026-10-19).
41% of Berea homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2105842, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 61% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
41% of Berea homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2105842, 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 Berea 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 Berea is $59,495 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US2105842, 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 13F figure is the Madison County cold-day number a Berea heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 13F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Berea home has 5.7 rooms and was built around 1990, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
