Tampa / Brooksville
Brooksville has 9,457 residents (give or take 42) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US1208800, checked 2026-10-19), about 846 people per square mile.
Brooksville is about 38 miles from the Census center point for Tampa in a straight line and covers 11.185 square miles of land (Census 2024 Gazetteer internal points and land area, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/gazetteer/2024_Gazetteer/, checked 2026-10-19).
45% of Brooksville homes are single-family detached, 7% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 16% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US1208800, checked 2026-10-19).
37% of Brooksville homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1208800, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 45% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Of the 4,254 occupied homes in Brooksville, 3% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 95% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1208800, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 95% of Brooksville homes, ahead of gas at 3%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Brooksville has about the Hernando County oil share of 0% and the same 95% electric share (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US12053, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Brooksville 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 publishes its terms without one headline figure (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 Brooksville address before counting it. With 95% of Brooksville homes already on electric heat and 4% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
Brooksville has 5,013 housing units, 6% built before 1940 and 44% before 1980, with 17% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1208800, checked 2026-10-19).

Heating design temperature: 33F.

That 33F figure is the Hernando County cold-day number a Brooksville heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 33F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Brooksville home has 5.2 rooms and was built around 1982, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
