Of the 7,411 occupied homes in Southern Pines, 14% heat with natural gas, 3% with heating oil, 78% with electricity and 4% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3763120, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 78% of Southern Pines homes, ahead of gas at 14%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Southern Pines has about the Moore County oil share of 1% and 3 points less electric heat than the county's 81% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US37125, checked 2026-10-19).
Southern Pines has 8,620 housing units, 8% built before 1940 and 34% before 1980, with 43% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3763120, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Southern Pines home was built in 1996 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3763120, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.4 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3763120, checked 2026-10-19).
53% of Southern Pines homes are single-family detached, 11% 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=160XX00US3763120, checked 2026-10-19).
43% of Southern Pines homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3763120, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 53% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.

That 21F figure is the Moore County cold-day number a Southern Pines 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 Southern Pines home has 5.4 rooms and was built around 1996, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
