Hartford / Coventry
Coventry is about 17 miles from the Census center point for Hartford in a straight line and covers 37.571 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).
Coventry has 12,326 residents (give or take 25) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=060XX00US0911017800, checked 2026-10-19), about 328 people per square mile.
The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Coventry that is 06238 (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).
Coventry is spread out at 328 people per square mile across 37.571 square miles of land, so a long refrigerant line run between the outdoor unit and the farthest indoor head is the sizing question an installer checks first.
Of the 4,926 occupied homes in Coventry, 3% heat with natural gas, 61% with heating oil, 14% with electricity and 14% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=060XX00US0911017800, checked 2026-10-19).
Coventry has 30 points more oil heat than Capitol Planning Region as a whole, where 31% of homes burn oil, and 2 points less electric heat than the county's 16% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US09110, checked 2026-10-19).
Heating oil is the largest single fuel in Coventry at 61%, ahead of electricity at 14%, so the usual job here is an oil boiler or furnace coming out and a cold-climate heat pump going in, with the oil tank removed.
The median Coventry home was built in 1966 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=060XX00US0911017800, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.1 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=060XX00US0911017800, checked 2026-10-19).
Coventry has 5,088 housing units, 14% built before 1940 and 61% before 1980, with 15% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=060XX00US0911017800, checked 2026-10-19).
Coventry has 4 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Capitol Planning Region as a whole (18%) and 4 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 11% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US09110, checked 2026-10-19).
61% of Coventry homes were built before 1980 and only 15% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=060XX00US0911017800, checked 2026-10-19), so most of the stock predates modern insulation codes; the installer's heat-loss calculation, not a square-footage rule, decides the tonnage.
89% of Coventry homes are single-family detached, 5% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 3% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=060XX00US0911017800, checked 2026-10-19).
With 89% detached houses and 5% in small multi-family buildings, a Coventry quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 9% of Coventry homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US0911017800, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Coventry has 32 points more detached houses than Capitol Planning Region overall (57%) and 18 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 21% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US09110, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 9% of Coventry homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US0911017800, checked 2026-10-19), so nearly every quote here is the resident talking to the installer directly, and the rebate goes to the person living in the house.
No electric utility is on file for Coventry on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Energize CT residential heat pump rebate, run by Energize CT, is a live program for Connecticut addresses and publishes its terms without one headline figure (registry row 3 verified 2026-10-15, https://www.energizect.com/node/68091, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Coventry address before counting it. With 14% of Coventry homes already on electric heat and 78% 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 Coventry is $108,213 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=060XX00US0911017800, 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 0F figure is the Tolland County cold-day number a Coventry heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 0F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask what happens to the oil tank, since 61% of the 4,926 occupied Coventry homes have one and removal is usually a separate line on the quote.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Coventry home has 6.1 rooms and was built around 1966, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
