What heats Pooler

Of the 11,650 occupied homes in Pooler, 9% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 88% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1362104, checked 2026-10-19).

Pooler has about the Chatham County oil share of 0% and 17 points more electric heat than the county's 71% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US13051, checked 2026-10-19).

Electricity already heats 88% of Pooler homes, ahead of gas at 9%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.

Age of the housing

The median Pooler home was built in 2007 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1362104, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US1362104, checked 2026-10-19).

Pooler has 12,422 housing units, 1% built before 1940 and 9% before 1980, with 77% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1362104, checked 2026-10-19).

Pooler has 8 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Chatham County as a whole (9%) and 43 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 34% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US13051, checked 2026-10-19).

77% of Pooler housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1362104, 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.

House type

59% of Pooler homes are single-family detached, 6% 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=160XX00US1362104, checked 2026-10-19).

40% of Pooler homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1362104, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 59% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.

40% of Pooler homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1362104, 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.

Utility and rebate

No electric utility is on file for Pooler 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 Pooler address before counting it. With 88% of Pooler 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 Pooler is $91,766 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1362104, 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.

Design temperature

Heating design temperature: 29F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Chatham County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 20 to 27 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 29F figure is the Chatham County cold-day number a Pooler 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.

Next step

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Pooler home has 6 rooms and was built around 2007, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
