Rebate path

No electric utility is on file for Spring Hill 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 Spring Hill address before counting it. With 95% of Spring Hill homes already on electric heat and 3% 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 Spring Hill is $68,432 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1268350, 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: 33F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Hernando 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 33F figure is the Hernando County cold-day number a Spring Hill 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.

Next step

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Spring Hill home has 5.8 rooms and was built around 1993, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
