Fuel mix

Of the 12,031 occupied homes in Saratoga Springs, 84% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 14% with electricity and 0% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4967825, checked 2026-10-19).

Gas heats 84% of Saratoga Springs against electricity at 14%, 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.

Saratoga Springs has about the Utah County oil share of 0% and 3 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).

Saratoga Springs has 12,583 housing units, 0% built before 1940 and 1% before 1980, with 94% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4967825, checked 2026-10-19).

Saratoga Springs has 3 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Utah County as a whole (3%) and 42 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 Saratoga Springs home was built in 2012 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4967825, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 7.5 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4967825, checked 2026-10-19).

75% of Saratoga Springs homes are single-family detached, 1% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 6% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4967825, checked 2026-10-19).

With 75% detached houses and 1% in small multi-family buildings, a Saratoga Springs quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 15% of Saratoga Springs homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4967825, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.

Saratoga Springs has 11 points more detached houses than Utah County overall (64%) and 10 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 15% of Saratoga Springs homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4967825, 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.

94% of Saratoga Springs housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4967825, 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.

Rebate path

No electric utility is on file for Saratoga Springs 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 Saratoga Springs is $128,802 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4967825, 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.

Cold-day number

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 Saratoga Springs 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.

Next step

Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 84% of Saratoga Springs on gas and 14% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Saratoga Springs home has 7.5 rooms and was built around 2012, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
