Rolesville has 10,766 residents (give or take 24) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3757640, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,535 people per square mile.
The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Rolesville that is 27571 (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 3,524 occupied homes in Rolesville, 68% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 27% with electricity and 4% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3757640, checked 2026-10-19).
Rolesville has about the Wake County oil share of 0% and 28 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).
Gas heats 68% of Rolesville against electricity at 27%, so most quotes here are a partial-home system that carries the shoulder seasons and the summer while the gas furnace handles the coldest nights, or a whole-home system when the house is ready for it.
The median Rolesville home was built in 2013 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3757640, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 8.1 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3757640, checked 2026-10-19).
Rolesville has 3,658 housing units, 3% built before 1940 and 5% before 1980, with 86% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3757640, checked 2026-10-19).
Rolesville has 36 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).
86% of Rolesville housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3757640, 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.
87% of Rolesville homes are single-family detached, 3% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 2% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3757640, checked 2026-10-19).
With 87% detached houses and 3% in small multi-family buildings, a Rolesville quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 7% of Rolesville homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3757640, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Rolesville has 29 points more detached houses than Wake County overall (58%) and 22 points fewer 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).
Only 7% of Rolesville homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3757640, checked 2026-10-19), so nearly every quote here is the resident talking to the installer directly, and the rebate goes to the person living in the house.
No electric utility is on file for Rolesville 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 Rolesville is $149,565 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3757640, 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.
Heating design temperature: 15F.

That 15F figure is the Wake County cold-day number a Rolesville 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 whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 68% of Rolesville on gas and 27% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Rolesville home has 8.1 rooms and was built around 2013, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
