Tampa / Tampa
Tampa is the city this door is named for; it covers 114.487 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).
Tampa has 401,618 residents (give or take 89) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US1271000, checked 2026-10-19), about 3,508 people per square mile.
The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Tampa that is 33602, 33603, 33604, 33605, 33606, 33607, 33609, 33610 and 9 more (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 166,278 occupied homes in Tampa, 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=160XX00US1271000, checked 2026-10-19).
Tampa has about the Hillsborough County oil share of 0% and 1 points more electric heat than the county's 91% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US12057, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 92% of Tampa 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.
The median Tampa home was built in 1985 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1271000, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 4.8 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US1271000, checked 2026-10-19).
Tampa has 182,425 housing units, 8% built before 1940 and 45% before 1980, with 34% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1271000, checked 2026-10-19).
50% of Tampa homes are single-family detached, 8% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 34% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US1271000, checked 2026-10-19).
50% of Tampa homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1271000, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 50% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
No electric utility is on file for Tampa 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 Tampa address before counting it. With 92% of Tampa 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.
Heating design temperature: 33F.

That 33F figure is the Hillsborough County cold-day number a Tampa 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 Tampa home has 4.8 rooms and was built around 1985, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
