The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Farmington that is 06032, 06085 (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 11,151 occupied homes in Farmington, 36% heat with natural gas, 41% with heating oil, 15% with electricity and 6% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=060XX00US0911027600, checked 2026-10-19).
Farmington has 10 points more oil heat than Capitol Planning Region as a whole, where 31% of homes burn oil, and 1 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 Farmington at 41%, ahead of gas at 36%, 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 Farmington home was built in 1980 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=060XX00US0911027600, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.2 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=060XX00US0911027600, checked 2026-10-19).
Farmington has 11,837 housing units, 10% built before 1940 and 49% before 1980, with 17% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=060XX00US0911027600, checked 2026-10-19).
Farmington has 8 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Capitol Planning Region as a whole (18%) and 6 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).
65% of Farmington homes are single-family detached, 11% 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=060XX00US0911027600, checked 2026-10-19).
26% of Farmington homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US0911027600, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 65% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Farmington has 8 points more detached houses than Capitol Planning Region overall (57%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US09110, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Farmington 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 Farmington address before counting it. With 15% of Farmington homes already on electric heat and 83% 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 Farmington is $141,120 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=060XX00US0911027600, 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 Hartford County cold-day number a Farmington 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 41% of the 11,151 occupied Farmington homes have one and removal is usually a separate line on the quote.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Farmington home has 6.2 rooms and was built around 1980, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
