The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Bowling Green that is 43403 (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).
39% of Bowling Green homes are single-family detached, 9% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 43% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3907972, checked 2026-10-19).
With 43% of Bowling Green homes in buildings of five or more units and 39% detached, the condo association usually decides where outdoor units can go, so that approval comes before the quote. With 66% of Bowling Green homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3907972, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Of the 12,056 occupied homes in Bowling Green, 62% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 34% with electricity and 3% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3907972, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 62% of Bowling Green against electricity at 34%, so most quotes here are a partial-home system that carries the shoulder seasons and the summer while the gas boiler stays for the deepest cold, or a whole-home system when the house is ready for it.
Bowling Green has about the Wood County oil share of 0% and 11 points more electric heat than the county's 23% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US39173, checked 2026-10-19).

That 1F figure is the Wood County cold-day number a Bowling Green heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 1F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 62% of Bowling Green on gas and 34% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Bowling Green home has 4.9 rooms and was built around 1980, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
