Of the 45,872 occupied homes in High Point, 48% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 48% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3731400, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 48% of High Point against electricity at 48%, 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.
High Point has about the Guilford County oil share of 1% and 6 points less electric heat than the county's 54% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US37081, checked 2026-10-19).
High Point has 49,131 housing units, 8% built before 1940 and 40% before 1980, with 33% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3731400, checked 2026-10-19).
The median High Point home was built in 1989 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3731400, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.4 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3731400, checked 2026-10-19).
63% of High Point homes are single-family detached, 6% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 22% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3731400, checked 2026-10-19).
42% of High Point homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3731400, 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.

Heating design temperature: 20F.

That 20F figure is the Guilford County cold-day number a High Point heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 20F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 48% of High Point on gas and 48% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median High Point home has 5.4 rooms and was built around 1989, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
