Celebration in numbers

Celebration has 13,667 residents (give or take 1,558) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US1211285, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,299 people per square mile.

Celebration is about 19 miles from the Census center point for Orlando in a straight line and covers 10.525 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 Celebration that is 34747 (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 Celebration is $96,242 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1211285, 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.

Multi-family first

38% of Celebration homes are single-family detached, 5% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 47% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US1211285, checked 2026-10-19).

With 47% of Celebration homes in buildings of five or more units and 38% detached, the condo association usually decides where outdoor units can go, so that approval comes before the quote. With 42% of Celebration homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1211285, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.

Celebration has 23 points fewer detached houses than Osceola County overall (61%) and 27 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 20% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US12097, checked 2026-10-19).

42% of Celebration homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1211285, 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.

Heating fuel in Celebration

Of the 5,404 occupied homes in Celebration, 9% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 91% with electricity and 0% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1211285, checked 2026-10-19).

Electricity already heats 91% of Celebration homes, ahead of gas at 9%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.

Celebration has about the Osceola County oil share of 0% and the same 91% electric share (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US12097, checked 2026-10-19).

Your utility and the rebate

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

OUC heat pump A/C rebate, run by OUC, is a live program for Florida addresses and up to $1,150 (registry row 26 verified 2026-10-25, https://www.ouc.com/solutions-programs/savings/rebates/heat-pump-ac/, checked 2026-10-25); confirm eligibility for the Celebration address before counting it. With 91% of Celebration homes already on electric heat and 9% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.

Age of the stock

Celebration has 6,918 housing units, 0% built before 1940 and 1% before 1980, with 70% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1211285, checked 2026-10-19).

Celebration has 15 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 55% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US12097, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Celebration home was built in 2004 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1211285, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 4.5 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US1211285, checked 2026-10-19).

70% of Celebration housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1211285, 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.

Sizing for Osceola County

Heating design temperature: 41F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Osceola County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 17 to 20 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 41F figure is the Osceola County cold-day number a Celebration heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 41F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.

Next step

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Celebration home has 4.5 rooms and was built around 2004, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
