Wellington is about 29 miles from the Census center point for Wichita in a straight line and covers 7.618 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 2,957 occupied homes in Wellington, 77% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 17% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US2076475, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 77% of Wellington against electricity at 17%, 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.
Wellington has about the Sumner County oil share of 0% and 3 points less electric heat than the county's 20% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US20191, checked 2026-10-19).
Wellington has 3,567 housing units, 28% built before 1940 and 78% before 1980, with 6% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2076475, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Wellington home was built in 1956 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US2076475, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.1 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US2076475, checked 2026-10-19).
74% of Wellington homes are single-family detached, 4% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 14% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US2076475, checked 2026-10-19).
With 74% detached houses and 4% in small multi-family buildings, a Wellington quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 38% of Wellington homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2076475, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
No electric utility is on file for Wellington 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.

That 11F figure is the Sumner County cold-day number a Wellington 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 77% of Wellington on gas and 17% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Wellington home has 6.1 rooms and was built around 1956, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
