What heats Park City

Of the 2,903 occupied homes in Park City, 83% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 15% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US2054450, checked 2026-10-19).

Park City has about the Sedgwick County oil share of 0% and 14 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 83% of Park City against electricity at 15%, 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.

Age of the housing

The median Park City home was built in 1988 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US2054450, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.2 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US2054450, checked 2026-10-19).

Park City has 3,187 housing units, 2% built before 1940 and 40% before 1980, with 33% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2054450, checked 2026-10-19).

House type

81% of Park City homes are single-family detached, 1% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 4% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US2054450, checked 2026-10-19).

With 81% detached houses and 1% in small multi-family buildings, a Park City quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 25% of Park City homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2054450, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.

Utility and rebate

No electric utility is on file for Park City on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.

Design temperature

Heating design temperature: 7F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Sedgwick County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 41 to 46 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 7F figure is the Sedgwick County cold-day number a Park City 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.

Next step

Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 83% of Park City on gas and 15% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Park City home has 6.2 rooms and was built around 1988, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
