Camden / Pennsauken
Pennsauken is about 3 miles from the Census center point for Camden in a straight line and covers 10.485 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).
Pennsauken has 37,275 residents (give or take 89) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=060XX00US3400757660, checked 2026-10-19), about 3,555 people per square mile.
The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Pennsauken that is 08109, 08110 (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).
3,555 people per square mile puts Pennsauken in suburban density, where the outdoor unit usually sits in a side yard and the noise is not an issue for neighbors.
Of the 12,900 occupied homes in Pennsauken, 76% heat with natural gas, 4% with heating oil, 17% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=060XX00US3400757660, checked 2026-10-19).
Pennsauken has about the Camden County oil share of 4% and 1 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 76% of Pennsauken against electricity at 17%, 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.
The median Pennsauken home was built in 1958 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=060XX00US3400757660, 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=060XX00US3400757660, checked 2026-10-19).
Pennsauken has 13,653 housing units, 19% built before 1940 and 81% before 1980, with 8% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=060XX00US3400757660, checked 2026-10-19).
Pennsauken has 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=050XX00US34007, checked 2026-10-19).
81% of Pennsauken 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=060XX00US3400757660, 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.
67% of Pennsauken homes are single-family detached, 11% 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=060XX00US3400757660, checked 2026-10-19).
26% of Pennsauken homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US3400757660, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 67% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Pennsauken has 12 points more detached houses than Camden County overall (55%) and 10 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 20% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US34007, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Pennsauken 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 Pennsauken is $87,680 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=060XX00US3400757660, 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: 10F.

That 10F figure is the Camden County cold-day number a Pennsauken 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.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 76% of Pennsauken on gas and 17% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Pennsauken home has 5.9 rooms and was built around 1958, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
