Hartford / Storrs
Storrs has 15,207 residents (give or take 648) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US0973980, checked 2026-10-19), about 2,040 people per square mile.
Storrs is about 22 miles from the Census center point for Hartford in a straight line and covers 7.454 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 Storrs that is 06268, 06269 (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 Storrs is $37,839 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US0973980, 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.
24% of Storrs homes are single-family detached, 11% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 53% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US0973980, checked 2026-10-19).
With 53% of Storrs homes in buildings of five or more units and 24% detached, the condo association usually decides where outdoor units can go, so that approval comes before the quote. With 73% of Storrs homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0973980, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Storrs has 33 points fewer detached houses than Capitol Planning Region overall (57%) and 32 points more 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).
With 73% of Storrs homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0973980, 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 2,219 occupied homes in Storrs, 3% heat with natural gas, 26% with heating oil, 56% with electricity and 13% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US0973980, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 56% of Storrs homes, ahead of oil at 26%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Storrs has 5 points less oil heat than Capitol Planning Region as a whole, where 31% of homes burn oil, and 40 points more 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).
No electric utility is on file for Storrs 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 Storrs address before counting it. With 56% of Storrs homes already on electric heat and 42% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
Storrs has 2,611 housing units, 7% built before 1940 and 44% before 1980, with 38% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0973980, checked 2026-10-19).
Storrs has 11 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Capitol Planning Region as a whole (18%) and 27 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).
The median Storrs home was built in 1985 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US0973980, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 3.6 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US0973980, checked 2026-10-19).

That 0F figure is the Tolland County cold-day number a Storrs 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 for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Storrs home has 3.6 rooms and was built around 1985, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
