Savannah / Savannah
Savannah is the city this door is named for; it covers 109.443 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).
Savannah has 147,898 residents (give or take 64) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US1369000, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,351 people per square mile.
The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Savannah that is 31401, 31404, 31405, 31406, 31407, 31408, 31409, 31415 and 2 more (Census 2020 ZCTA to county subdivision and ZCTA to place relationship files, ZIP areas at least 20% inside the town, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_cousub20_natl.txt and https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_place20_natl.txt, checked 2026-10-19).
Of the 58,192 occupied homes in Savannah, 30% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 68% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1369000, checked 2026-10-19).
Savannah has about the Chatham County oil share of 0% and 3 points less 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 68% of Savannah homes, ahead of gas at 30%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
The median Savannah home was built in 1971 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1369000, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.3 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US1369000, checked 2026-10-19).
Savannah has 68,174 housing units, 16% built before 1940 and 59% before 1980, with 24% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1369000, checked 2026-10-19).
Savannah has 7 points more pre-1940 homes than Chatham County as a whole (9%) and 10 points fewer 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). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
56% of Savannah homes are single-family detached, 14% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 23% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US1369000, checked 2026-10-19).
55% of Savannah homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1369000, 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.
Savannah has 6 points fewer detached houses than Chatham County overall (62%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US13051, checked 2026-10-19).
55% of Savannah homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1369000, 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 Savannah 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 Savannah address before counting it. With 68% of Savannah homes already on electric heat and 31% 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 Savannah is $57,137 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1369000, 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 Chatham County cold-day number a Savannah 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 Savannah home has 5.3 rooms and was built around 1971, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
