Heat pump installation in Greenwood, MS - rebates, sizing and local data

Greenwood in Leflore County

Greenwood has 14,086 residents (give or take 26) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US2829340, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,142 people per square mile.

Greenwood is about 83 miles from the Census center point for Jackson in a straight line and covers 12.335 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).

Fuel mix

Of the 5,373 occupied homes in Greenwood, 58% heat with natural gas, 1% with heating oil, 39% with electricity and 0% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US2829340, checked 2026-10-19).

Gas heats 58% of Greenwood against electricity at 39%, and a cold-climate heat pump sized for this market replaces the gas system outright, so the usual quote is a whole-home install.

Greenwood has about the Leflore County oil share of 0% and 2 points less electric heat than the county's 41% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US28083, checked 2026-10-19).

Housing stock

Greenwood has 6,807 housing units, 12% built before 1940 and 70% before 1980, with 8% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2829340, checked 2026-10-19).

Greenwood has 3 points more pre-1940 homes than Leflore County as a whole (9%) and 3 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 11% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US28083, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.

The median Greenwood home was built in 1968 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US2829340, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.2 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US2829340, checked 2026-10-19).

73% of Greenwood homes are single-family detached, 12% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 10% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US2829340, checked 2026-10-19).

With 73% detached houses and 12% in small multi-family buildings, a Greenwood quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 47% of Greenwood homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2829340, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.

47% of Greenwood homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2829340, 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.

70% of Greenwood homes were built before 1980 and only 8% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2829340, checked 2026-10-19), so most of the stock predates modern insulation codes; the installer's heat-loss calculation, not a square-footage rule, decides the tonnage.

Rebate path

No electric utility is on file for Greenwood on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.

Median household income in Greenwood is $35,473 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US2829340, 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.

Cold-day number

Heating design temperature: 25F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Leflore County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 64 to 68 of 141 (Revised 11/11/2020), https://www.energystar.gov/sites/default/files/Design%20Temperature%20Limit%20Reference%20Guide%20(2019%20Ed)%20-%20ENERGY%20STAR%20Single-Family%20New%20Homes_Rev11.pdf, fetched 2026-10-19, 99%.

That 25F figure is the Leflore County cold-day number a Greenwood 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.

Next step

Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 58% of Greenwood on gas and 39% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Greenwood home has 5.2 rooms and was built around 1968, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
