Mulvane is about 16 miles from the Census center point for Wichita in a straight line and covers 4.286 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).
Mulvane has 6,171 residents (give or take 712) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US2049100, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,440 people per square mile.
Of the 2,527 occupied homes in Mulvane, 77% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 20% with electricity and 3% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US2049100, checked 2026-10-19).
Mulvane has about the Sedgwick County oil share of 0% and 9 points less electric heat than the county's 29% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US20173, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 77% of Mulvane against electricity at 20%, 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.
The median Mulvane home was built in 1980 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US2049100, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.8 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US2049100, checked 2026-10-19).
Mulvane has 2,677 housing units, 9% built before 1940 and 50% before 1980, with 31% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2049100, checked 2026-10-19).
81% of Mulvane homes are single-family detached, 11% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 5% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US2049100, checked 2026-10-19).
With 81% detached houses and 11% in small multi-family buildings, a Mulvane quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 20% of Mulvane homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2049100, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
No electric utility is on file for Mulvane on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Heating design temperature: 7F.

That 7F figure is the Sedgwick County cold-day number a Mulvane 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 77% of Mulvane on gas and 20% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Mulvane home has 6.8 rooms and was built around 1980, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
