Orlando / Kissimmee
Kissimmee has 81,479 residents (give or take 60) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US1236950, checked 2026-10-19), about 3,784 people per square mile.
Kissimmee is about 12 miles from the Census center point for Orlando in a straight line and covers 21.534 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 Kissimmee that is 34741 (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 Kissimmee is $53,758 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1236950, 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.
3,784 people per square mile puts Kissimmee in suburban density, where the outdoor unit usually sits in a side yard and the noise is not an issue for neighbors.
46% of Kissimmee homes are single-family detached, 10% 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=160XX00US1236950, checked 2026-10-19).
54% of Kissimmee homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1236950, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 46% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Kissimmee has 15 points fewer detached houses than Osceola County overall (61%) and 12 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).
54% of Kissimmee homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1236950, 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.
Of the 27,225 occupied homes in Kissimmee, 3% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 94% with electricity and 0% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1236950, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 94% of Kissimmee homes, ahead of gas at 3%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Kissimmee has about the Osceola County oil share of 0% and 3 points more electric heat than the county's 91% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US12097, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Kissimmee 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 Kissimmee address before counting it. With 94% of Kissimmee homes already on electric heat and 3% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
Kissimmee has 30,926 housing units, 2% built before 1940 and 22% before 1980, with 36% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1236950, checked 2026-10-19).
Kissimmee has 19 points fewer 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 Kissimmee home was built in 1992 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1236950, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 4.8 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US1236950, checked 2026-10-19).

That 41F figure is the Osceola County cold-day number a Kissimmee 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.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Kissimmee home has 4.8 rooms and was built around 1992, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
