No electric utility is on file for Pine Hills 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 Pine Hills address before counting it.

Median household income in Pine Hills is $58,673 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1256825, 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 38F figure is the Orange County cold-day number a Pine Hills 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 Pine Hills home has 5.7 rooms and was built around 1980, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
