Raleigh / Morrisville
Morrisville has 31,422 residents (give or take 161) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3744520, checked 2026-10-19), about 3,425 people per square mile.
Morrisville is about 11 miles from the Census center point for Raleigh in a straight line and covers 9.174 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 Morrisville that is 27560 (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).
Median household income in Morrisville is $125,396 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3744520, 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.
3,425 people per square mile puts Morrisville in suburban density, where the outdoor unit usually sits in a side yard and the noise is not an issue for neighbors.
33% of Morrisville homes are single-family detached, 4% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 40% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3744520, checked 2026-10-19).
With 40% of Morrisville homes in buildings of five or more units and 33% detached, the condo association usually decides where outdoor units can go, so that approval comes before the quote. With 55% of Morrisville homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3744520, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Morrisville has 25 points fewer detached houses than Wake County overall (58%) and 16 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 24% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US37183, checked 2026-10-19).
55% of Morrisville homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3744520, 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.
Of the 12,300 occupied homes in Morrisville, 46% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 52% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3744520, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 52% of Morrisville homes, ahead of gas at 46%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Morrisville has about the Wake County oil share of 0% and 3 points less electric heat than the county's 55% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US37183, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Morrisville on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.

Morrisville has 26 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 50% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US37183, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Morrisville home was built in 2007 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3744520, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3744520, checked 2026-10-19).
76% of Morrisville housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3744520, checked 2026-10-19), and homes that recent usually meet the insulation codes in place at the time, so a heat pump sized to the floor plan lands closer to the real load than it would in an older neighborhood.

That 15F figure is the Wake County cold-day number a Morrisville heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 15F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Morrisville home has 5 rooms and was built around 2007, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
