Of the 4,194 occupied homes in Cordele, 8% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 87% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1319616, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 87% of Cordele homes, ahead of gas at 8%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Cordele has about the Crisp County oil share of 0% and 2 points less electric heat than the county's 89% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US13081, checked 2026-10-19).
Cordele has 4,953 housing units, 5% built before 1940 and 53% before 1980, with 18% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1319616, checked 2026-10-19).
Cordele has 3 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 21% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US13081, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Cordele home was built in 1978 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1319616, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.5 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US1319616, checked 2026-10-19).
56% of Cordele homes are single-family detached, 14% 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=160XX00US1319616, checked 2026-10-19).
61% of Cordele homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1319616, 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.
Cordele has 8 points fewer detached houses than Crisp County overall (64%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US13081, checked 2026-10-19).
With 61% of Cordele homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1319616, checked 2026-10-19), most heat pump quotes here are landlord-driven: the landlord signs the contract and picks the equipment, and the tenant sees the lower bill.
No electric utility is on file for Cordele 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 Cordele address before counting it. With 87% of Cordele homes already on electric heat and 10% 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 Cordele is $33,800 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1319616, 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 25F figure is the Crisp County cold-day number a Cordele heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 25F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Cordele home has 5.5 rooms and was built around 1978, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
