Wichita / Pittsburg
Pittsburg has 20,637 residents (give or take 26) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US2056025, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,534 people per square mile.
Pittsburg is about 146 miles from the Census center point for Wichita in a straight line and covers 13.457 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).
Of the 8,287 occupied homes in Pittsburg, 64% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 34% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US2056025, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 64% of Pittsburg against electricity at 34%, 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.
Pittsburg has about the Crawford County oil share of 0% and 3 points more electric heat than the county's 31% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US20037, checked 2026-10-19).
Pittsburg has 9,456 housing units, 26% built before 1940 and 66% before 1980, with 17% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2056025, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Pittsburg home was built in 1968 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US2056025, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.2 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US2056025, checked 2026-10-19).
68% of Pittsburg homes are single-family detached, 7% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 20% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US2056025, checked 2026-10-19).
54% of Pittsburg homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2056025, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 68% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
No electric utility is on file for Pittsburg on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Heating design temperature: 11F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Crawford 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 11F figure is the Crawford County cold-day number a Pittsburg 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 64% of Pittsburg on gas and 34% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Pittsburg home has 5.2 rooms and was built around 1968, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
