That 15F figure is the Nash County cold-day number a Rocky Mount heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 15F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Rocky Mount home has 5.2 rooms and was built around 1979, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
