Philadelphia / Exton
Exton has 6,772 residents (give or take 1,000) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US4224440, checked 2026-10-19), about 2,166 people per square mile.
Exton is about 26 miles from the Census center point for Philadelphia in a straight line and covers 3.127 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 Exton that is 19341 (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).
Median household income in Exton is $120,697 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4224440, 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.
29% of Exton homes are single-family detached, 10% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 44% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4224440, checked 2026-10-19).
With 44% of Exton homes in buildings of five or more units and 29% detached, the condo association usually decides where outdoor units can go, so that approval comes before the quote. With 71% of Exton homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4224440, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Exton has 31 points fewer detached houses than Chester County overall (60%) and 30 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 14% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US42029, checked 2026-10-19).
With 71% of Exton homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4224440, checked 2026-10-19), most heat pump quotes here are landlord-driven: the landlord signs the contract and picks the equipment, and the tenant sees the lower bill.
Of the 2,899 occupied homes in Exton, 40% heat with natural gas, 12% with heating oil, 45% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4224440, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 45% of Exton homes, ahead of gas at 40%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Exton has 6 points less oil heat than Chester County as a whole, where 18% of homes burn oil, and 14 points more electric heat than the county's 31% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US42029, checked 2026-10-19).

That 8F figure is the Chester County cold-day number a Exton heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 8F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Exton home has 4.2 rooms and was built around 1995, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
