Wichita / Wichita
Wichita is the city this door is named for; it covers 165.074 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).
Wichita has 397,945 residents (give or take 97) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US2079000, checked 2026-10-19), about 2,411 people per square mile.
The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Wichita that is 67202, 67203, 67204, 67205, 67206, 67207, 67208, 67209 and 14 more (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).
Of the 158,589 occupied homes in Wichita, 69% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 29% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US2079000, checked 2026-10-19).
Wichita has about the Sedgwick County oil share of 0% and the same 29% electric share (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US20173, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 69% of Wichita against electricity at 29%, 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 Wichita home was built in 1974 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US2079000, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.7 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US2079000, checked 2026-10-19).
Wichita has 176,411 housing units, 10% built before 1940 and 57% before 1980, with 19% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2079000, checked 2026-10-19).
66% of Wichita homes are single-family detached, 9% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 18% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US2079000, checked 2026-10-19).
41% of Wichita homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2079000, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 66% 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 Wichita 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. 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 Wichita 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 69% of Wichita on gas and 29% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Wichita home has 5.7 rooms and was built around 1974, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
