New York City / Brooklyn
Brooklyn has 2,631,580 residents (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=060XX00US3604710022, checked 2026-10-19), about 37,932 people per square mile.
Brooklyn sits inside New York City itself, under 3 miles from the Census center point for the city, and covers 69.377 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).
The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Brooklyn that is 11201, 11203, 11204, 11205, 11206, 11207, 11208, 11209 and 30 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).
5% of Brooklyn homes are single-family detached, 32% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 55% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=060XX00US3604710022, checked 2026-10-19).
With 55% of Brooklyn homes in buildings of five or more units and 5% detached, the condo association usually decides where outdoor units can go, so that approval comes before the quote. With 71% of Brooklyn homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US3604710022, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Of the 1,009,927 occupied homes in Brooklyn, 72% heat with natural gas, 7% with heating oil, 14% with electricity and 3% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=060XX00US3604710022, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 72% of Brooklyn against electricity at 14%, 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.
Brooklyn has about the Kings County oil share of 7% and the same 14% electric share (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US36047, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Brooklyn on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
NYS Clean Heat (Con Edison), run by Con Edison, is a live program for New York addresses and lists a standard figure of $7,000 (registry row 5 verified 2026-10-16, https://www.coned.com/en/save-money/rebates-incentives-tax-credits/rebates-incentives-tax-credits-for-residential-customers/electric-heating-and-cooling-technology-for-renters-homeowners/save-on-a-central-air-source-heat-pump, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Brooklyn address before counting it. With 14% of Brooklyn homes already on electric heat and 82% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
Brooklyn has 1,100,772 housing units, 47% built before 1940 and 80% before 1980, with 14% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=060XX00US3604710022, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Brooklyn home was built in 1944 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=060XX00US3604710022, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 3.9 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=060XX00US3604710022, checked 2026-10-19).
Heating design temperature: 10F.

That 10F figure is the Kings County cold-day number a Brooklyn heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 10F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 72% of Brooklyn on gas and 14% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; a Brooklyn house from before 1940 (47% of the 1,100,772 units) rarely matches a square-footage rule of thumb.
