Fuel mix

Of the 20,009 occupied homes in Mooresville, 51% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 47% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3744220, checked 2026-10-19).

Gas heats 51% of Mooresville against electricity at 47%, 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.

Mooresville has about the Iredell County oil share of 2% and 16 points less electric heat than the county's 63% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US37097, checked 2026-10-19).

Housing stock

Mooresville has 21,657 housing units, 4% built before 1940 and 14% before 1980, with 66% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3744220, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Mooresville home was built in 2006 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3744220, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.7 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3744220, checked 2026-10-19).

60% of Mooresville homes are single-family detached, 3% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 25% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3744220, checked 2026-10-19).

42% of Mooresville homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3744220, 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.

Rebate path

No electric utility is on file for Mooresville on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.

Cold-day number

Heating design temperature: 21F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Iredell County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 86 to 90 of 141 (Revised 11/11/2020), https://www.energystar.gov/sites/default/files/Design%20Temperature%20Limit%20Reference%20Guide%20(2019%20Ed)%20-%20ENERGY%20STAR%20Single-Family%20New%20Homes_Rev11.pdf, fetched 2026-10-19, 99%.

That 21F figure is the Iredell County cold-day number a Mooresville heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 21F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.

Next step

Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 51% of Mooresville on gas and 47% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Mooresville home has 5.7 rooms and was built around 2006, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
