Heating design temperature: 22F.

That 22F figure is the Mecklenburg County cold-day number a Mint Hill heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 22F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 57% of Mint Hill on gas and 41% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Mint Hill home has 6.9 rooms and was built around 1992, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
