The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Horn Lake that is 38637 (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 10,072 occupied homes in Horn Lake, 52% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 46% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US2833700, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 52% of Horn Lake against electricity at 46%, and a cold-climate heat pump sized for this market replaces the gas system outright, so the usual quote is a whole-home install.
Horn Lake has about the DeSoto County oil share of 0% and 8 points more electric heat than the county's 38% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US28033, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Horn Lake home was built in 1991 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US2833700, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.4 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US2833700, checked 2026-10-19).
74% of Horn Lake homes are single-family detached, 6% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 14% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US2833700, checked 2026-10-19).
With 74% detached houses and 6% in small multi-family buildings, a Horn Lake quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 42% of Horn Lake homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2833700, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Horn Lake has 9 points fewer detached houses than DeSoto County overall (83%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US28033, checked 2026-10-19).
42% of Horn Lake homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2833700, 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 Horn Lake 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 Horn Lake is $53,311 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US2833700, 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: 20F.

That 20F figure is the DeSoto County cold-day number a Horn Lake heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 20F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 52% of Horn Lake on gas and 46% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Horn Lake home has 5.4 rooms and was built around 1991, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
