Salt Lake City / Highland
Highland has 20,119 residents (give or take 61) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US4935190, checked 2026-10-19), about 2,316 people per square mile.
Highland is about 25 miles from the Census center point for Salt Lake City in a straight line and covers 8.687 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).
Of the 5,050 occupied homes in Highland, 88% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 11% with electricity and 0% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4935190, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 88% of Highland against electricity at 11%, so most quotes here are a partial-home system that carries the shoulder seasons and the summer while the gas furnace handles the coldest nights, or a whole-home system when the house is ready for it.
Highland has about the Utah County oil share of 0% and 6 points less electric heat than the county's 17% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US49049, checked 2026-10-19).
Highland has 5,206 housing units, 0% built before 1940 and 10% before 1980, with 65% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4935190, checked 2026-10-19).
Highland has 3 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Utah County as a whole (3%) and 13 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 52% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US49049, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Highland home was built in 2004 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4935190, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 10 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4935190, checked 2026-10-19).
88% of Highland homes are single-family detached, 3% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 1% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4935190, checked 2026-10-19).
With 88% detached houses and 3% in small multi-family buildings, a Highland quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 8% of Highland homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4935190, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Highland has 24 points more detached houses than Utah County overall (64%) and 15 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 16% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US49049, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 8% of Highland homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4935190, checked 2026-10-19), so nearly every quote here is the resident talking to the installer directly, and the rebate goes to the person living in the house.
65% of Highland housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4935190, 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.
No electric utility is on file for Highland on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Median household income in Highland is $186,075 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4935190, 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: 11F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Utah County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 125 to 127 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 11F figure is the Utah County cold-day number a Highland heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 11F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 88% of Highland on gas and 11% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Highland home has 10 rooms and was built around 2004, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
