Tampa / Siesta Key
Siesta Key has 5,525 residents (give or take 503) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US1266000, checked 2026-10-19), about 2,357 people per square mile.
Siesta Key is about 48 miles from the Census center point for Tampa in a straight line and covers 2.344 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 Siesta Key that is 34242 (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).
Median household income in Siesta Key is $115,854 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1266000, 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.
27% of Siesta Key homes are single-family detached, 6% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 53% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US1266000, checked 2026-10-19).
With 53% of Siesta Key homes in buildings of five or more units and 27% detached, the condo association usually decides where outdoor units can go, so that approval comes before the quote. With 7% of Siesta Key homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1266000, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Siesta Key has 30 points fewer detached houses than Sarasota County overall (57%) and 33 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 20% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US12115, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 7% of Siesta Key homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1266000, 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.
Of the 2,959 occupied homes in Siesta Key, 1% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 96% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1266000, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 96% of Siesta Key homes, ahead of gas at 1%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Siesta Key has about the Sarasota County oil share of 0% and 4 points more electric heat than the county's 92% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US12115, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Siesta Key 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 Siesta Key address before counting it. With 96% of Siesta Key homes already on electric heat and 2% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
Siesta Key has 7,767 housing units, 1% built before 1940 and 66% before 1980, with 8% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1266000, checked 2026-10-19).
Siesta Key has 25 points fewer 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 Siesta Key home was built in 1976 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1266000, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 4.4 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US1266000, checked 2026-10-19).
66% of Siesta Key homes were built before 1980 and only 8% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1266000, 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.
Heating design temperature: 42F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Sarasota 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 42F figure is the Sarasota County cold-day number a Siesta Key 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 Siesta Key home has 4.4 rooms and was built around 1976, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
