Haddon Heights has 7,516 residents (give or take 23) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3428800, checked 2026-10-19), about 4,799 people per square mile.

4,799 people per square mile puts Haddon Heights in suburban density, where the outdoor unit usually sits in a side yard and the noise is not an issue for neighbors.

What heats Haddon Heights

Of the 3,200 occupied homes in Haddon Heights, 86% heat with natural gas, 5% with heating oil, 8% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3428800, checked 2026-10-19).

Haddon Heights has about the Camden County oil share of 4% and 10 points less electric heat than the county's 18% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US34007, checked 2026-10-19).

Gas heats 86% of Haddon Heights against electricity at 8%, so most quotes here are a partial-home system that carries the shoulder seasons and the summer while the gas furnace handles the coldest nights, or a whole-home system when the house is ready for it.

Age of the housing

The median Haddon Heights home was built in 1947 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3428800, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 7 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3428800, checked 2026-10-19).

Haddon Heights has 3,318 housing units, 42% built before 1940 and 92% before 1980, with 4% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3428800, checked 2026-10-19).

Haddon Heights has 25 points more pre-1940 homes than Camden County as a whole (17%) and 7 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=050XX00US34007, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.

42% of Haddon Heights homes were built before 1940 and 92% before 1980 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3428800, checked 2026-10-19), so insulation is the first sizing question: an older home leaks more heat per square foot, and the installer runs a room-by-room heat-loss calculation to size the system for what the walls and windows actually hold in, not just the floor plan.

House type

78% of Haddon Heights 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=160XX00US3428800, checked 2026-10-19).

With 78% detached houses and 6% in small multi-family buildings, a Haddon Heights quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 22% of Haddon Heights homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3428800, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.

Haddon Heights has 23 points more detached houses than Camden County overall (55%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US34007, checked 2026-10-19).

Utility and rebate

No electric utility is on file for Haddon Heights 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 Haddon Heights is $133,125 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3428800, 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.

Design temperature

Heating design temperature: 10F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Camden County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 81 to 82 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 10F figure is the Camden County cold-day number a Haddon Heights heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 10F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.

Next step

Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 86% of Haddon Heights on gas and 8% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; a Haddon Heights house from before 1940 (42% of the 3,318 units) rarely matches a square-footage rule of thumb.
