Tampa / Venice
Venice has 27,479 residents (give or take 70) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US1273900, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,690 people per square mile.
Venice is about 59 miles from the Census center point for Tampa in a straight line and covers 16.261 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 Venice that is 34275, 34285 (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).
42% of Venice homes are single-family detached, 7% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 31% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US1273900, checked 2026-10-19).
20% of Venice homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1273900, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 42% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Of the 15,027 occupied homes in Venice, 11% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 86% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1273900, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 86% of Venice homes, ahead of gas at 11%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Venice has about the Sarasota County oil share of 0% and 6 points less 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 Venice 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 Venice address before counting it. With 86% of Venice homes already on electric heat and 12% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
Venice has 20,966 housing units, 2% built before 1940 and 42% before 1980, with 34% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1273900, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Venice home was built in 1986 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1273900, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 4.7 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US1273900, checked 2026-10-19).
Heating design temperature: 42F.

That 42F figure is the Sarasota County cold-day number a Venice 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 Venice home has 4.7 rooms and was built around 1986, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
