The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Texas City that is 77518, 77539, 77590, 77591 (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 21,845 occupied homes in Texas City, 39% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 60% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4872392, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 60% of Texas City 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.
Texas City has about the Galveston County oil share of 0% and 8 points more electric heat than the county's 52% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US48167, checked 2026-10-19).
Texas City has 23,618 housing units, 2% built before 1940 and 44% before 1980, with 34% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4872392, checked 2026-10-19).
Texas City has 3 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Galveston County as a whole (5%) and 4 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 38% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US48167, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Texas City home was built in 1984 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4872392, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.3 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4872392, checked 2026-10-19).
69% of Texas City homes are single-family detached, 3% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 25% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4872392, checked 2026-10-19).
43% of Texas City homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4872392, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 69% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
43% of Texas City homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4872392, 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.
No electric utility is on file for Texas City 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 Texas City is $68,776 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4872392, 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: 34F.

That 34F figure is the Galveston County cold-day number a Texas City heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 34F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Texas City home has 5.3 rooms and was built around 1984, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
