Savannah / Richmond Hill
Richmond Hill has 18,181 residents (give or take 34) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US1365044, checked 2026-10-19), about 764 people per square mile.
Richmond Hill is about 11 miles from the Census center point for Savannah in a straight line and covers 23.792 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 6,251 occupied homes in Richmond Hill, 11% 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=160XX00US1365044, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 88% of Richmond Hill homes, ahead of gas at 11%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Richmond Hill has about the Bryan County oil share of 0% and 3 points less electric heat than the county's 91% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US13029, checked 2026-10-19).
Richmond Hill has 6,821 housing units, 0% built before 1940 and 5% before 1980, with 69% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1365044, checked 2026-10-19).
Richmond Hill has 6 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 63% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US13029, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Richmond Hill home was built in 2007 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1365044, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.7 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US1365044, checked 2026-10-19).
67% of Richmond Hill homes are single-family detached, 3% 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=160XX00US1365044, checked 2026-10-19).
37% of Richmond Hill homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1365044, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 67% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Richmond Hill has 8 points fewer detached houses than Bryan County overall (75%) and 10 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=050XX00US13029, checked 2026-10-19).
69% of Richmond Hill housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1365044, 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.
No electric utility is on file for Richmond Hill 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 Richmond Hill address before counting it. With 88% of Richmond Hill homes already on electric heat and 12% 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 Richmond Hill is $92,824 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1365044, 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 29F figure is the Bryan County cold-day number a Richmond Hill 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 Richmond Hill home has 5.7 rooms and was built around 2007, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
