Wichita / Lawrence
Lawrence has 96,051 residents (give or take 50) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US2038900, checked 2026-10-19), about 2,774 people per square mile.
Lawrence is about 143 miles from the Census center point for Wichita in a straight line and covers 34.62 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 Lawrence that is 66045, 66049 (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).
46% of Lawrence homes are single-family detached, 10% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 32% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US2038900, checked 2026-10-19).
56% of Lawrence homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2038900, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 46% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Of the 41,129 occupied homes in Lawrence, 63% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 35% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US2038900, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 63% of Lawrence against electricity at 35%, so most quotes here are a partial-home system that carries the shoulder seasons and the summer while the gas boiler stays for the deepest cold, or a whole-home system when the house is ready for it.
Lawrence has about the Douglas County oil share of 0% and 1 points more electric heat than the county's 34% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US20045, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Lawrence on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Lawrence has 44,098 housing units, 10% built before 1940 and 39% before 1980, with 31% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2038900, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Lawrence home was built in 1988 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US2038900, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.1 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US2038900, checked 2026-10-19).
Heating design temperature: 7F.

That 7F figure is the Douglas County cold-day number a Lawrence heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 7F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 63% of Lawrence on gas and 35% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Lawrence home has 5.1 rooms and was built around 1988, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
