Charlotte / Eden
Eden has 15,356 residents (give or take 50) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3720080, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,080 people per square mile.
Eden is about 108 miles from the Census center point for Charlotte in a straight line and covers 14.22 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 6,410 occupied homes in Eden, 37% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 59% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3720080, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 59% of Eden homes, ahead of gas at 37%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Eden has about the Rockingham County oil share of 2% and 6 points less electric heat than the county's 65% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US37157, checked 2026-10-19).
Eden has 7,434 housing units, 17% built before 1940 and 69% before 1980, with 9% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3720080, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Eden home was built in 1967 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3720080, 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=160XX00US3720080, checked 2026-10-19).
65% of Eden homes are single-family detached, 11% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 15% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3720080, checked 2026-10-19).
45% of Eden homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3720080, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 65% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.

Heating design temperature: 18F.

That 18F figure is the Rockingham County cold-day number a Eden heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 18F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Eden home has 5.1 rooms and was built around 1967, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
