Salt Lake City / Santa Clara
Santa Clara has 8,152 residents (give or take 33) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US4967660, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,345 people per square mile.
Santa Clara is about 268 miles from the Census center point for Salt Lake City in a straight line and covers 6.063 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 2,495 occupied homes in Santa Clara, 61% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 38% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4967660, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 61% of Santa Clara against electricity at 38%, 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.
Santa Clara has about the Washington County oil share of 0% and the same 38% electric share (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US49053, checked 2026-10-19).
Santa Clara has 2,948 housing units, 1% built before 1940 and 7% before 1980, with 60% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4967660, checked 2026-10-19).
Santa Clara has 3 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 57% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US49053, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Santa Clara home was built in 2004 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4967660, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.4 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4967660, checked 2026-10-19).
77% of Santa Clara homes are single-family detached, 7% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 3% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4967660, checked 2026-10-19).
With 77% detached houses and 7% in small multi-family buildings, a Santa Clara quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 22% of Santa Clara homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4967660, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
60% of Santa Clara housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4967660, 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 Santa Clara 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 Santa Clara is $96,475 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4967660, 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: 7F.

That 7F figure is the Washington County cold-day number a Santa Clara heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 7F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 61% of Santa Clara on gas and 38% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Santa Clara home has 6.4 rooms and was built around 2004, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
