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 Swainsboro address before counting it.

That 25F figure is the Emanuel County cold-day number a Swainsboro 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 Swainsboro home has 5.4 rooms and was built around 1978, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
