Savannah / Calhoun
Calhoun has 18,183 residents (give or take 28) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US1312456, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,087 people per square mile.
Calhoun is about 276 miles from the Census center point for Savannah in a straight line and covers 16.725 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 6,633 occupied homes in Calhoun, 40% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 59% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1312456, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 59% of Calhoun homes, ahead of gas at 40%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Calhoun has about the Gordon County oil share of 0% and 9 points less electric heat than the county's 68% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US13129, checked 2026-10-19).
Calhoun has 7,199 housing units, 5% built before 1940 and 44% before 1980, with 31% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1312456, checked 2026-10-19).
Calhoun tracks Gordon County on housing age, with the county at 4% pre-1940 and 29% post-2000 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US13129, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Calhoun home was built in 1986 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1312456, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.6 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US1312456, checked 2026-10-19).
65% of Calhoun homes are single-family detached, 7% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 22% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US1312456, checked 2026-10-19).
44% of Calhoun homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1312456, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 65% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Calhoun has 13 points fewer detached houses than Gordon County overall (78%) and 14 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 8% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US13129, checked 2026-10-19).
44% of Calhoun homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1312456, 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 Calhoun on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Georgia Power Home Energy Improvement Program heat pump conversion, run by Georgia Power, is a live program for Georgia addresses and covers qualifying equipment at $1,850 per system (registry row 28 verified 2026-10-14, https://www.georgiapower.com/residential/solutions/home-solutions.html, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Calhoun address before counting it. With 59% of Calhoun homes already on electric heat and 42% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
Median household income in Calhoun is $58,750 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1312456, 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.

That 22F figure is the Gordon County cold-day number a Calhoun heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 22F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Calhoun home has 5.6 rooms and was built around 1986, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
