Youngsville is about 17 miles from the Census center point for Raleigh in a straight line and covers 2.539 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 1,013 occupied homes in Youngsville, 39% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 59% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3776200, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 59% of Youngsville homes, ahead of gas at 39%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Youngsville has about the Franklin County oil share of 1% and 13 points less electric heat than the county's 72% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US37069, checked 2026-10-19).
Youngsville has 1,059 housing units, 11% built before 1940 and 22% before 1980, with 64% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3776200, checked 2026-10-19).
Youngsville has 6 points more pre-1940 homes than Franklin County as a whole (5%) and 19 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 45% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US37069, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
The median Youngsville home was built in 2007 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3776200, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.9 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3776200, checked 2026-10-19).
75% of Youngsville homes are single-family detached, 2% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 18% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3776200, checked 2026-10-19).
With 75% detached houses and 2% in small multi-family buildings, a Youngsville quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 37% of Youngsville homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3776200, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Youngsville has 16 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 2% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US37069, checked 2026-10-19).
64% of Youngsville housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3776200, 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.
No electric utility is on file for Youngsville 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 Youngsville is $86,528 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3776200, 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 Franklin County cold-day number a Youngsville 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 Youngsville home has 5.9 rooms and was built around 2007, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
