No electric utility is on file for Thomasville 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 Thomasville address before counting it.

Median household income in Thomasville is $49,673 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1376224, 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 Thomas County cold-day number a Thomasville 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 Thomasville home has 5.6 rooms and was built around 1977, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
