Heat pump installation in South Ogden, UT - rebates, sizing and local data

South Ogden in Weber County

South Ogden has 17,650 residents (give or take 27) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US4970960, checked 2026-10-19), about 4,524 people per square mile.

South Ogden is about 27 miles from the Census center point for Salt Lake City in a straight line and covers 3.901 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).

4,524 people per square mile puts South Ogden in suburban density, where the outdoor unit usually sits in a side yard and the noise is not an issue for neighbors.

Fuel mix

Of the 6,855 occupied homes in South Ogden, 75% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 23% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4970960, checked 2026-10-19).

Gas heats 75% of South Ogden against electricity at 23%, 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.

South Ogden has about the Weber County oil share of 0% and 8 points more electric heat than the county's 15% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US49057, checked 2026-10-19).

Housing stock

South Ogden has 7,038 housing units, 4% built before 1940 and 52% before 1980, with 23% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4970960, checked 2026-10-19).

South Ogden has 5 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Weber County as a whole (9%) and 7 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 30% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US49057, checked 2026-10-19).

The median South Ogden home was built in 1979 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4970960, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4970960, checked 2026-10-19).

62% of South Ogden homes are single-family detached, 10% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 16% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4970960, checked 2026-10-19).

33% of South Ogden homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4970960, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 62% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.

South Ogden has 8 points fewer detached houses than Weber County overall (70%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US49057, checked 2026-10-19).

Rebate path

No electric utility is on file for South Ogden 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 South Ogden is $80,130 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4970960, 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: 0F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Weber 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 0F figure is the Weber County cold-day number a South Ogden heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 0F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.

Next step

Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 75% of South Ogden on gas and 23% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median South Ogden home has 6 rooms and was built around 1979, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
