Of the 7,646 occupied homes in Mount Dora, 12% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 86% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1247050, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 86% of Mount Dora homes, ahead of gas at 12%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Mount Dora has about the Lake County oil share of 0% and 1 points less electric heat than the county's 87% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US12069, checked 2026-10-19).
Mount Dora has 8,621 housing units, 6% built before 1940 and 32% before 1980, with 39% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1247050, checked 2026-10-19).
Mount Dora has 4 points more pre-1940 homes than Lake County as a whole (2%) and 6 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 45% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US12069, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
The median Mount Dora home was built in 1993 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1247050, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.4 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US1247050, checked 2026-10-19).
62% of Mount Dora homes are single-family detached, 10% 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=160XX00US1247050, checked 2026-10-19).
38% of Mount Dora homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1247050, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 62% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Mount Dora has 5 points fewer detached houses than Lake County overall (67%) and 10 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 10% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US12069, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Mount Dora 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 Mount Dora address before counting it. With 86% of Mount Dora homes already on electric heat and 13% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
Median household income in Mount Dora is $74,537 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1247050, 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.
Heating design temperature: 34F.

That 34F figure is the Lake County cold-day number a Mount Dora heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 34F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Mount Dora home has 5.4 rooms and was built around 1993, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
