The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Winter Garden that is 34787 (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).
Of the 15,980 occupied homes in Winter Garden, 6% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 90% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1278250, checked 2026-10-19).
Winter Garden has about the Orange County oil share of 0% and 1 points less 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).
Electricity already heats 90% of Winter Garden homes, ahead of gas at 6%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
The median Winter Garden home was built in 2004 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1278250, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.5 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US1278250, checked 2026-10-19).
Winter Garden has 17,326 housing units, 1% built before 1940 and 15% before 1980, with 65% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1278250, checked 2026-10-19).
Winter Garden has 25 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 40% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US12095, checked 2026-10-19).
65% of Winter Garden housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1278250, 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.
69% of Winter Garden homes are single-family detached, 4% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 13% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US1278250, checked 2026-10-19).
34% of Winter Garden homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1278250, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 69% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Winter Garden has 15 points more detached houses than Orange County overall (54%) and 17 points fewer 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).
No electric utility is on file for Winter Garden 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 Winter Garden address before counting it. With 90% of Winter Garden homes already on electric heat and 7% 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 Winter Garden is $106,495 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1278250, 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: 38F.

That 38F figure is the Orange County cold-day number a Winter Garden 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 Winter Garden home has 6.5 rooms and was built around 2004, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
