Cincinnati / Troy
Troy has 26,842 residents (give or take 274) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3977588, checked 2026-10-19), about 2,124 people per square mile.
Troy is about 64 miles from the Census center point for Cincinnati in a straight line and covers 12.635 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).
Of the 11,243 occupied homes in Troy, 74% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 25% with electricity and 0% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3977588, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 74% of Troy against electricity at 25%, 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.
Troy has 3 points less oil heat than Miami County as a whole, where 3% of homes burn oil, and 3 points less electric heat than the county's 28% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US39109, checked 2026-10-19).
Troy has 11,733 housing units, 16% built before 1940 and 61% before 1980, with 22% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3977588, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Troy home was built in 1972 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3977588, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.7 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3977588, checked 2026-10-19).
72% of Troy homes are single-family detached, 11% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 12% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3977588, checked 2026-10-19).
With 72% detached houses and 11% in small multi-family buildings, a Troy quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 34% of Troy homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3977588, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
No electric utility is on file for Troy on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Heating design temperature: 2F.

That 2F figure is the Miami County cold-day number a Troy heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 2F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 74% of Troy on gas and 25% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Troy home has 5.7 rooms and was built around 1972, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
