The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Pickerington that is 43147 (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 8,420 occupied homes in Pickerington, 73% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 25% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3962498, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 73% of Pickerington against electricity at 25%, 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.
Pickerington has about the Fairfield County oil share of 1% and 4 points less electric heat than the county's 29% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US39045, checked 2026-10-19).
Pickerington has 8,882 housing units, 3% built before 1940 and 17% before 1980, with 59% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3962498, checked 2026-10-19).
Pickerington has 12 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Fairfield County as a whole (15%) and 33 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 26% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US39045, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Pickerington home was built in 2003 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3962498, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 7.1 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3962498, checked 2026-10-19).
69% of Pickerington homes are single-family detached, 8% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 14% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3962498, checked 2026-10-19).
23% of Pickerington homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3962498, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 69% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Pickerington has 10 points fewer detached houses than Fairfield County overall (79%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US39045, checked 2026-10-19).
59% of Pickerington housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3962498, 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 Pickerington 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 Pickerington is $111,833 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3962498, 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 Fairfield County cold-day number a Pickerington 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 73% of Pickerington on gas and 25% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Pickerington home has 7.1 rooms and was built around 2003, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
