Of the 5,255 occupied homes in Pennsville, 55% heat with natural gas, 20% with heating oil, 22% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=060XX00US3403357870, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas leads in Pennsville at 55%, but 21% of homes still burn delivered oil or propane, and those 1,104 or so homes are where a heat pump pays back fastest.
Pennsville has 6 points less oil heat than Salem County as a whole, where 26% of homes burn oil, and 5 points more electric heat than the county's 17% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US34033, checked 2026-10-19).
Pennsville has 5,828 housing units, 16% built before 1940 and 82% before 1980, with 7% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=060XX00US3403357870, checked 2026-10-19).
Pennsville has 6 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Salem County as a whole (22%) and 3 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 10% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US34033, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Pennsville home was built in 1962 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=060XX00US3403357870, 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=060XX00US3403357870, checked 2026-10-19).
78% of Pennsville homes are single-family detached, 5% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 11% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=060XX00US3403357870, checked 2026-10-19).
With 78% detached houses and 5% in small multi-family buildings, a Pennsville quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 20% of Pennsville homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US3403357870, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
82% of Pennsville homes were built before 1980 and only 7% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=060XX00US3403357870, 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.
No electric utility is on file for Pennsville 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 Pennsville is $75,097 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=060XX00US3403357870, 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: 11F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Salem 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 Salem County cold-day number a Pennsville 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.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 55% of Pennsville on gas and 22% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Pennsville home has 5.9 rooms and was built around 1962, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
