Of the 14,043 occupied homes in Salisbury, 37% heat with natural gas, 1% with heating oil, 58% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3758860, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 58% of Salisbury homes, ahead of gas at 37%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Salisbury has about the Rowan County oil share of 2% and 10 points less electric heat than the county's 68% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US37159, checked 2026-10-19).
Salisbury has 15,637 housing units, 14% built before 1940 and 55% before 1980, with 23% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3758860, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Salisbury home was built in 1976 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3758860, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.1 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3758860, checked 2026-10-19).
62% of Salisbury homes are single-family detached, 10% 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=160XX00US3758860, checked 2026-10-19).
48% of Salisbury homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3758860, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 62% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.

That 21F figure is the Rowan County cold-day number a Salisbury 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.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Salisbury home has 5.1 rooms and was built around 1976, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
