The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Conroe that is 77301, 77304, 77384 (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 39,852 occupied homes in Conroe, 42% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 56% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4816432, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 56% of Conroe homes, ahead of gas at 42%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Conroe has about the Montgomery County oil share of 0% and 4 points more electric heat than the county's 52% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US48339, checked 2026-10-19).
Conroe has 42,431 housing units, 1% built before 1940 and 17% before 1980, with 61% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4816432, checked 2026-10-19).
Conroe tracks Montgomery County on housing age, with the county at 1% pre-1940 and 60% post-2000 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US48339, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Conroe home was built in 2006 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4816432, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.2 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4816432, checked 2026-10-19).
56% of Conroe homes are single-family detached, 5% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 31% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4816432, checked 2026-10-19).
45% of Conroe homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4816432, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 56% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Conroe has 12 points fewer detached houses than Montgomery County overall (68%) and 16 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 15% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US48339, checked 2026-10-19).
45% of Conroe homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4816432, 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.
61% of Conroe housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4816432, 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 Conroe 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 Conroe is $76,206 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4816432, 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: 27F.

That 27F figure is the Montgomery County cold-day number a Conroe heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 27F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Conroe home has 5.2 rooms and was built around 2006, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
