Savannah / Winder
Winder has 19,437 residents (give or take 37) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US1383420, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,302 people per square mile.
Winder is about 200 miles from the Census center point for Savannah in a straight line and covers 14.923 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 7,380 occupied homes in Winder, 34% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 65% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1383420, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 65% of Winder homes, ahead of gas at 34%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Winder has about the Barrow County oil share of 0% and 14 points less electric heat than the county's 79% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US13013, checked 2026-10-19).
Winder has 7,789 housing units, 2% built before 1940 and 29% before 1980, with 48% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1383420, checked 2026-10-19).
Winder has 5 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 53% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US13013, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Winder home was built in 1998 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1383420, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.9 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US1383420, checked 2026-10-19).
73% of Winder homes are single-family detached, 10% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 8% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US1383420, checked 2026-10-19).
With 73% detached houses and 10% in small multi-family buildings, a Winder quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 33% of Winder homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1383420, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Winder has 11 points fewer detached houses than Barrow County overall (84%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US13013, checked 2026-10-19).
48% of Winder housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1383420, 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 Winder 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 Winder address before counting it. With 65% of Winder homes already on electric heat and 35% 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 Winder is $63,779 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1383420, 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: 25F.

That 25F figure is the Barrow County cold-day number a Winder 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 Winder home has 5.9 rooms and was built around 1998, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
