Johnstown is about 19 miles from the Census center point for Columbus in a straight line and covers 2.985 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).
Of the 1,968 occupied homes in Johnstown, 75% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 22% with electricity and 0% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3939340, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 75% of Johnstown against electricity at 22%, so most quotes here are a partial-home system that carries the shoulder seasons and the summer while the gas furnace handles the coldest nights, or a whole-home system when the house is ready for it.
Johnstown has about the Licking County oil share of 1% and the same 22% electric share (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US39089, checked 2026-10-19).
Johnstown has 2,016 housing units, 9% built before 1940 and 36% before 1980, with 42% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3939340, checked 2026-10-19).
Johnstown has 6 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Licking County as a whole (15%) and 17 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 25% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US39089, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Johnstown home was built in 1994 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3939340, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.6 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3939340, checked 2026-10-19).
67% of Johnstown homes are single-family detached, 12% 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=160XX00US3939340, checked 2026-10-19).
38% of Johnstown homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3939340, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 67% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Johnstown has 9 points fewer detached houses than Licking County overall (76%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US39089, checked 2026-10-19).
42% of Johnstown housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3939340, 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 Johnstown on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Median household income in Johnstown is $91,713 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3939340, 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.

That 5F figure is the Licking County cold-day number a Johnstown heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 5F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 75% of Johnstown on gas and 22% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Johnstown home has 5.6 rooms and was built around 1994, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
