Of the 82,689 occupied homes in Fayetteville, 23% heat with natural gas, 1% with heating oil, 73% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3722920, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 73% of Fayetteville homes, ahead of gas at 23%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Fayetteville has about the Cumberland County oil share of 1% and 4 points less electric heat than the county's 77% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US37051, checked 2026-10-19).
Fayetteville has 91,985 housing units, 2% built before 1940 and 44% before 1980, with 25% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3722920, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Fayetteville home was built in 1984 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3722920, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.4 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3722920, checked 2026-10-19).
62% of Fayetteville homes are single-family detached, 9% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 24% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3722920, checked 2026-10-19).
53% of Fayetteville homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3722920, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 62% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
53% of Fayetteville homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3722920, checked 2026-10-19), so the market splits between resident-led jobs where the occupant picks the system and landlord-led jobs where they do not, and the rebate paperwork differs.
No electric utility is on file for Fayetteville 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 Fayetteville is $58,407 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3722920, 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.

That 21F figure is the Cumberland County cold-day number a Fayetteville heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 21F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Fayetteville home has 5.4 rooms and was built around 1984, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
