Orlando / Orlando
Orlando has 319,758 residents (give or take 95) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US1253000, checked 2026-10-19), about 2,878 people per square mile.
Orlando is the city this door is named for; it covers 111.114 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 Orlando that is 32801, 32803, 32804, 32805, 32806, 32807, 32808, 32811 and 10 more (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 Orlando is $72,336 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1253000, 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.
32% of Orlando homes are single-family detached, 9% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 50% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US1253000, checked 2026-10-19).
With 50% of Orlando homes in buildings of five or more units and 32% detached, the condo association usually decides where outdoor units can go, so that approval comes before the quote. With 60% of Orlando homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1253000, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Orlando has 22 points fewer detached houses than Orange County overall (54%) and 20 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 30% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US12095, checked 2026-10-19).
With 60% of Orlando homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1253000, checked 2026-10-19), most heat pump quotes here are landlord-driven: the landlord signs the contract and picks the equipment, and the tenant sees the lower bill.
Of the 131,179 occupied homes in Orlando, 5% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 92% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1253000, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 92% of Orlando homes, ahead of gas at 5%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Orlando has about the Orange County oil share of 0% and 1 points more electric heat than the county's 91% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US12095, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Orlando 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 Orlando address before counting it. With 92% of Orlando homes already on electric heat and 6% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
Orlando has 148,754 housing units, 3% built before 1940 and 33% before 1980, with 41% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1253000, checked 2026-10-19).
Orlando tracks Orange County on housing age, with the county at 1% pre-1940 and 40% post-2000 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US12095, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Orlando home was built in 1992 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1253000, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 4.6 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US1253000, checked 2026-10-19).
41% of Orlando housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1253000, 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.
Heating design temperature: 38F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Orange 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 38F figure is the Orange County cold-day number a Orlando heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 38F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Orlando home has 4.6 rooms and was built around 1992, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
