Hudson is about 217 miles from the Census center point for Cincinnati in a straight line and covers 25.625 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 Hudson that is 44236 (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 8,077 occupied homes in Hudson, 88% heat with natural gas, 1% with heating oil, 10% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3936651, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 88% of Hudson against electricity at 10%, 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.
Hudson has about the Summit County oil share of 1% and 4 points less electric heat than the county's 14% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US39153, checked 2026-10-19).
Hudson has 8,359 housing units, 8% built before 1940 and 44% before 1980, with 12% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3936651, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Hudson home was built in 1983 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3936651, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 10 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3936651, checked 2026-10-19).
86% of Hudson homes are single-family detached, 2% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 7% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3936651, checked 2026-10-19).
With 86% detached houses and 2% in small multi-family buildings, a Hudson quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 12% of Hudson homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3936651, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
No electric utility is on file for Hudson on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Heating design temperature: 5F.

That 5F figure is the Summit County cold-day number a Hudson heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 5F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 88% of Hudson on gas and 10% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Hudson home has 10 rooms and was built around 1983, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
