Fuel mix

Of the 1,987 occupied homes in Belleair, 5% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 94% with electricity and 0% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1205075, checked 2026-10-19).

Electricity already heats 94% of Belleair homes, ahead of gas at 5%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.

Belleair has about the Pinellas County oil share of 0% and 2 points more electric heat than the county's 92% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US12103, checked 2026-10-19).

Housing stock

Belleair has 2,286 housing units, 2% built before 1940 and 65% before 1980, with 12% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1205075, checked 2026-10-19).

Belleair tracks Pinellas County on housing age, with the county at 4% pre-1940 and 12% post-2000 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US12103, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Belleair home was built in 1974 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1205075, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.1 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US1205075, checked 2026-10-19).

60% of Belleair homes are single-family detached, 3% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 31% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US1205075, checked 2026-10-19).

9% of Belleair homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1205075, 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.

Belleair has 12 points more detached houses than Pinellas County overall (48%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US12103, checked 2026-10-19).

Only 9% of Belleair homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1205075, checked 2026-10-19), so nearly every quote here is the resident talking to the installer directly, and the rebate goes to the person living in the house.

65% of Belleair homes were built before 1980 and only 12% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1205075, checked 2026-10-19), so most of the stock predates modern insulation codes; the installer's heat-loss calculation, not a square-footage rule, decides the tonnage.

Rebate path

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

Florida utility heat pump rebates (Orlando, Tampa), run by OUC / Duke Energy Florida / TECO, is a live program for Florida addresses and covers qualifying equipment at $1,150 per system (registry row 26 verified 2026-10-15, https://www.ouc.com/solutions-programs/savings/rebates/heat-pump-ac/, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Belleair address before counting it. With 94% of Belleair homes already on electric heat and 5% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.

Median household income in Belleair is $117,083 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1205075, checked 2026-10-19); many state and utility heat pump rebate programs set higher incentive tiers for income-qualifying households, so the household income on the application, not the town median, decides which level applies.

Cold-day number

Heating design temperature: 37F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Pinellas County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 17 to 20 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 37F figure is the Pinellas County cold-day number a Belleair heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 37F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.

Next step

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Belleair home has 6.1 rooms and was built around 1974, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
