Douglas is about 104 miles from the Census center point for Savannah in a straight line and covers 14.444 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 4,621 occupied homes in Douglas, 4% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 95% with electricity and 0% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1323872, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 95% of Douglas homes, ahead of gas at 4%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Douglas has about the Coffee County oil share of 0% and the same 95% electric share (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US13069, checked 2026-10-19).
Douglas has 5,325 housing units, 9% built before 1940 and 50% before 1980, with 17% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1323872, checked 2026-10-19).
Douglas has 3 points more pre-1940 homes than Coffee County as a whole (6%) and 7 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 24% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US13069, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
The median Douglas home was built in 1980 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1323872, 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=160XX00US1323872, checked 2026-10-19).
71% of Douglas homes are single-family detached, 9% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 13% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US1323872, checked 2026-10-19).
With 71% detached houses and 9% in small multi-family buildings, a Douglas quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 54% of Douglas homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1323872, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Douglas has 12 points more detached houses than Coffee County overall (59%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US13069, checked 2026-10-19).
54% of Douglas homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1323872, 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 Douglas 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 Douglas address before counting it. With 95% of Douglas homes already on electric heat and 4% 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 Douglas is $34,408 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1323872, 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: 29F.

That 29F figure is the Coffee County cold-day number a Douglas heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 29F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Douglas home has 5.6 rooms and was built around 1980, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
