The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Winter Haven that is 33881, 33884 (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 20,396 occupied homes in Winter Haven, 4% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 92% with electricity and 0% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1278275, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 92% of Winter Haven homes, ahead of gas at 4%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Winter Haven has about the Polk County oil share of 0% and 1 points less electric heat than the county's 93% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US12105, checked 2026-10-19).
Winter Haven has 23,431 housing units, 4% built before 1940 and 34% before 1980, with 43% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1278275, checked 2026-10-19).
Winter Haven has 4 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 39% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US12105, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Winter Haven home was built in 1990 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1278275, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.4 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US1278275, checked 2026-10-19).
66% of Winter Haven homes are single-family detached, 8% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 16% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US1278275, checked 2026-10-19).
36% of Winter Haven homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1278275, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 66% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
43% of Winter Haven housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1278275, 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 Winter Haven 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 Winter Haven address before counting it. With 92% of Winter Haven homes already on electric heat and 4% 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 Winter Haven is $59,648 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1278275, 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: 37F.

That 37F figure is the Polk County cold-day number a Winter Haven heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 37F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Winter Haven home has 5.4 rooms and was built around 1990, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
