The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Pearland that is 77581, 77584 (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 44,410 occupied homes in Pearland, 67% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 31% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4856348, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 67% of Pearland against electricity at 31%, and a cold-climate heat pump sized for this market replaces the gas system outright, so the usual quote is a whole-home install.
Pearland has about the Brazoria County oil share of 0% and 17 points less electric heat than the county's 48% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US48039, checked 2026-10-19).
Pearland has 47,560 housing units, 0% built before 1940 and 11% before 1980, with 62% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4856348, checked 2026-10-19).
Pearland has 17 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=050XX00US48039, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Pearland home was built in 2003 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4856348, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.4 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4856348, checked 2026-10-19).
79% of Pearland homes are single-family detached, 1% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 14% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4856348, checked 2026-10-19).
With 79% detached houses and 1% in small multi-family buildings, a Pearland quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 24% of Pearland homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4856348, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Pearland has 6 points more detached houses than Brazoria County overall (73%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US48039, checked 2026-10-19).
62% of Pearland housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4856348, 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 Pearland 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 Pearland is $118,842 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4856348, 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: 33F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Brazoria County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 115 to 125 of 141 (Revised 11/11/2020), https://www.energystar.gov/sites/default/files/Design%20Temperature%20Limit%20Reference%20Guide%20(2019%20Ed)%20-%20ENERGY%20STAR%20Single-Family%20New%20Homes_Rev11.pdf, fetched 2026-10-19, 99%.
That 33F figure is the Brazoria County cold-day number a Pearland heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 33F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 67% of Pearland on gas and 31% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Pearland home has 6.4 rooms and was built around 2003, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
