Salt Lake City / Midvale
Midvale has 35,989 residents (give or take 40) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US4949710, checked 2026-10-19), about 6,105 people per square mile.
Midvale is about 11 miles from the Census center point for Salt Lake City in a straight line and covers 5.895 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 Midvale that is 84047 (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 Midvale is $75,084 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4949710, 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.
6,105 people per square mile puts Midvale in suburban density, where the outdoor unit usually sits in a side yard and the noise is not an issue for neighbors.
35% of Midvale homes are single-family detached, 9% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 41% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4949710, checked 2026-10-19).
With 41% of Midvale homes in buildings of five or more units and 35% detached, the condo association usually decides where outdoor units can go, so that approval comes before the quote. With 57% of Midvale homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4949710, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Midvale has 25 points fewer detached houses than Salt Lake County overall (60%) and 18 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 23% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US49035, checked 2026-10-19).
57% of Midvale homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4949710, checked 2026-10-19), so the market splits between resident-led jobs where the occupant picks the system and landlord-led jobs where they do not, and the rebate paperwork differs.
Of the 15,446 occupied homes in Midvale, 77% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 20% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4949710, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 77% of Midvale against electricity at 20%, 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.
Midvale has about the Salt Lake County oil share of 0% and 4 points more electric heat than the county's 16% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US49035, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Midvale on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Midvale has 16,070 housing units, 4% built before 1940 and 40% before 1980, with 36% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4949710, checked 2026-10-19).
Midvale has 3 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Salt Lake County as a whole (7%) and 4 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 32% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US49035, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Midvale home was built in 1987 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4949710, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 4.8 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4949710, checked 2026-10-19).

That 11F figure is the Salt Lake County cold-day number a Midvale 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 77% of Midvale on gas and 20% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Midvale home has 4.8 rooms and was built around 1987, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
