Of the 15,911 occupied homes in Fairborn, 64% heat with natural gas, 1% with heating oil, 34% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3925914, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 64% of Fairborn 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.
Fairborn has about the Greene County oil share of 1% and 2 points more electric heat than the county's 32% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US39057, checked 2026-10-19).
Fairborn has 17,063 housing units, 6% built before 1940 and 61% before 1980, with 17% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3925914, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Fairborn home was built in 1970 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3925914, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.3 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3925914, checked 2026-10-19).
56% of Fairborn homes are single-family detached, 13% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 25% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3925914, checked 2026-10-19).
49% of Fairborn homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3925914, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 56% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
No electric utility is on file for Fairborn on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Heating design temperature: 3F.

That 3F figure is the Greene County cold-day number a Fairborn heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 3F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 64% of Fairborn 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 Fairborn home has 5.3 rooms and was built around 1970, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
