Charlotte / Fletcher
Fletcher has 8,098 residents (give or take 18) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3723760, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,279 people per square mile.
Fletcher is about 96 miles from the Census center point for Charlotte in a straight line and covers 6.333 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 3,372 occupied homes in Fletcher, 48% heat with natural gas, 2% with heating oil, 43% with electricity and 3% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3723760, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 48% of Fletcher against electricity at 43%, 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.
Fletcher has about the Henderson County oil share of 3% and 17 points less electric heat than the county's 60% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US37089, checked 2026-10-19).
Fletcher has 3,628 housing units, 2% built before 1940 and 15% before 1980, with 55% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3723760, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Fletcher home was built in 2001 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3723760, 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=160XX00US3723760, checked 2026-10-19).
60% of Fletcher homes are single-family detached, 1% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 12% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3723760, checked 2026-10-19).
15% of Fletcher homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3723760, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 60% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
No electric utility is on file for Fletcher on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Heating design temperature: 17F.

That 17F figure is the Henderson County cold-day number a Fletcher 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 whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 48% of Fletcher on gas and 43% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Fletcher home has 6 rooms and was built around 2001, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
