Of the 1,619 occupied homes in Kitty Hawk, 0% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 96% with electricity and 3% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3736060, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 96% of Kitty Hawk homes, ahead of propane at 3%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Kitty Hawk has about the Dare County oil share of 0% and 3 points more electric heat than the county's 93% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US37055, checked 2026-10-19).
Kitty Hawk has 3,217 housing units, 2% built before 1940 and 28% before 1980, with 21% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3736060, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Kitty Hawk home was built in 1987 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3736060, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 4.8 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3736060, checked 2026-10-19).
68% of Kitty Hawk homes are single-family detached, 12% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 13% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3736060, checked 2026-10-19).
27% of Kitty Hawk homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3736060, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 68% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.

Heating design temperature: 29F.

That 29F figure is the Dare County cold-day number a Kitty Hawk heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 29F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Kitty Hawk home has 4.8 rooms and was built around 1987, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
