Of the 6,387 occupied homes in Belmont, 51% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 45% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3704840, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 51% of Belmont against electricity at 45%, so most quotes here are a partial-home system that carries the shoulder seasons and the summer while the gas boiler stays for the deepest cold, or a whole-home system when the house is ready for it.
Belmont has about the Gaston County oil share of 1% and 12 points less electric heat than the county's 57% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US37071, checked 2026-10-19).
Belmont has 6,726 housing units, 13% built before 1940 and 31% before 1980, with 54% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3704840, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Belmont home was built in 2002 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3704840, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.7 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3704840, checked 2026-10-19).
73% of Belmont homes are single-family detached, 3% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 14% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3704840, checked 2026-10-19).
With 73% detached houses and 3% in small multi-family buildings, a Belmont quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 29% of Belmont homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3704840, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
No electric utility is on file for Belmont on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Heating design temperature: 22F.

That 22F figure is the Gaston County cold-day number a Belmont heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 22F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 51% of Belmont on gas and 45% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Belmont home has 5.7 rooms and was built around 2002, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
