Tampa / Osprey
Osprey has 5,943 residents (give or take 457) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US1253425, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,137 people per square mile.
Osprey is about 54 miles from the Census center point for Tampa in a straight line and covers 5.226 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).
The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Osprey that is 34229 (Census 2020 ZCTA to county subdivision and ZCTA to place relationship files, ZIP areas at least 20% inside the town, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_cousub20_natl.txt and https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_place20_natl.txt, checked 2026-10-19).
Of the 2,893 occupied homes in Osprey, 6% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 92% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1253425, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 92% of Osprey homes, ahead of gas at 6%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Osprey has about the Sarasota County oil share of 0% and the same 92% electric share (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US12115, checked 2026-10-19).
Osprey has 3,722 housing units, 0% built before 1940 and 17% before 1980, with 47% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1253425, checked 2026-10-19).
Osprey has 14 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 33% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US12115, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Osprey home was built in 1998 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1253425, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.9 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US1253425, checked 2026-10-19).
68% of Osprey homes are single-family detached, 5% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 15% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US1253425, checked 2026-10-19).
13% of Osprey homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1253425, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 68% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Osprey has 11 points more detached houses than Sarasota County overall (57%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US12115, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 13% of Osprey homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1253425, 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.
47% of Osprey housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1253425, checked 2026-10-19), and homes that recent usually meet the insulation codes in place at the time, so a heat pump sized to the floor plan lands closer to the real load than it would in an older neighborhood.
No electric utility is on file for Osprey 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 Osprey address before counting it. With 92% of Osprey homes already on electric heat and 7% 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 Osprey is $103,516 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1253425, 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.
Heating design temperature: 42F.

That 42F figure is the Sarasota County cold-day number a Osprey heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 42F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Osprey home has 5.9 rooms and was built around 1998, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
