Charlotte / Brevard
Brevard has 7,897 residents (give or take 23) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3707720, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,470 people per square mile.
Brevard is about 107 miles from the Census center point for Charlotte in a straight line and covers 5.372 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 3,752 occupied homes in Brevard, 40% heat with natural gas, 2% with heating oil, 57% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3707720, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 57% of Brevard homes, ahead of gas at 40%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Brevard has about the Transylvania County oil share of 4% and 5 points less electric heat than the county's 62% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US37175, checked 2026-10-19).
Brevard has 4,329 housing units, 10% built before 1940 and 55% before 1980, with 16% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3707720, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Brevard home was built in 1974 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3707720, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.1 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3707720, checked 2026-10-19).
63% of Brevard homes are single-family detached, 17% 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=160XX00US3707720, checked 2026-10-19).
49% of Brevard homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3707720, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 63% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.

That 17F figure is the Transylvania County cold-day number a Brevard heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 17F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Brevard home has 5.1 rooms and was built around 1974, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
