Of the 15,145 occupied homes in Goldsboro, 11% heat with natural gas, 1% with heating oil, 81% with electricity and 6% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3726880, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 81% of Goldsboro homes, ahead of gas at 11%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Goldsboro has about the Wayne County oil share of 1% and 1 points less electric heat than the county's 82% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US37191, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Goldsboro home was built in 1975 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3726880, 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=160XX00US3726880, checked 2026-10-19).
50% of Goldsboro homes are single-family detached, 18% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 20% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3726880, checked 2026-10-19).
64% of Goldsboro homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3726880, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 50% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.

Heating design temperature: 23F.

That 23F figure is the Wayne County cold-day number a Goldsboro heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 23F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Goldsboro home has 5.1 rooms and was built around 1975, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
