The median Tallmadge home was built in 1971 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3976106, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.4 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3976106, checked 2026-10-19).

74% of Tallmadge homes are single-family detached, 6% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 10% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3976106, checked 2026-10-19).

With 17% of Tallmadge homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3976106, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.

Rebate path

No electric utility is on file for Tallmadge on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.

Median household income in Tallmadge is $89,410 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3976106, 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.

Cold-day number

Heating design temperature: 5F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Summit County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 94 to 97 of 141 (Revised 11/11/2020), https://www.energystar.gov/sites/default/files/Design%20Temperature%20Limit%20Reference%20Guide%20(2019%20Ed)%20-%20ENERGY%20STAR%20Single-Family%20New%20Homes_Rev11.pdf, fetched 2026-10-19, 99%.

That 5F figure is the Summit County cold-day number a Tallmadge 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.

Next step

Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 84% of Tallmadge on gas and 13% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Tallmadge home has 6.4 rooms and was built around 1971, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
