Heat pump installation in National Park, NJ - rebates, sizing and local data

National Park in Gloucester County

National Park has 3,044 residents (give or take 43) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3449680, checked 2026-10-19), about 3,020 people per square mile.

National Park is about 6 miles from the Census center point for Camden in a straight line and covers 1.008 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).

The quote form takes a ZIP code; for National Park that is 08063 (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).

3,020 people per square mile puts National Park in suburban density, where the outdoor unit usually sits in a side yard and the noise is not an issue for neighbors.

Fuel mix

Of the 1,028 occupied homes in National Park, 78% heat with natural gas, 14% with heating oil, 7% with electricity and 0% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3449680, checked 2026-10-19).

Gas heats 78% of National Park against oil at 14%, 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.

National Park has 6 points more oil heat than Gloucester County as a whole, where 8% of homes burn oil, and 4 points less electric heat than the county's 11% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US34015, checked 2026-10-19).

Housing stock

National Park has 1,059 housing units, 40% built before 1940 and 86% before 1980, with 5% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3449680, checked 2026-10-19).

National Park has 30 points more pre-1940 homes than Gloucester County as a whole (10%) and 18 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 23% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US34015, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.

The median National Park home was built in 1953 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3449680, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3449680, checked 2026-10-19).

88% of National Park homes are single-family detached, 7% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 0% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3449680, checked 2026-10-19).

With 88% detached houses and 7% in small multi-family buildings, a National Park quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 14% of National Park homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3449680, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.

National Park has 15 points more detached houses than Gloucester County overall (73%) and 11 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 11% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US34015, checked 2026-10-19).

Only 14% of National Park homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3449680, checked 2026-10-19), so nearly every quote here is the resident talking to the installer directly, and the rebate goes to the person living in the house.

40% of National Park homes were built before 1940 and 86% before 1980 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3449680, 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.

Rebate path

No electric utility is on file for National Park 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 National Park is $82,838 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3449680, 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: 11F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Gloucester 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 11F figure is the Gloucester County cold-day number a National Park heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 11F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.

Next step

Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 78% of National Park on gas and 7% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; a National Park house from before 1940 (40% of the 1,059 units) rarely matches a square-footage rule of thumb.
