Heat pump installation in Campton, NH - up to $250 rebate

Campton in Grafton County

Campton has 3,407 residents (give or take 21) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=060XX00US3300908660, checked 2026-10-19), about 66 people per square mile.

Campton is about 59 miles from the Census center point for Manchester in a straight line and covers 51.836 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 Campton that is 03223 (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).

Campton is spread out at 66 people per square mile across 51.836 square miles of land, so a long refrigerant line run between the outdoor unit and the farthest indoor head is the sizing question an installer checks first.

Fuel mix

Of the 1,289 occupied homes in Campton, 3% heat with natural gas, 48% with heating oil, 5% with electricity and 19% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=060XX00US3300908660, checked 2026-10-19).

Heating oil is the largest single fuel in Campton at 48%, ahead of propane at 19%, so the usual job here is an oil boiler or furnace coming out and a cold-climate heat pump going in, with the oil tank removed.

Campton has 5 points more oil heat than Grafton County as a whole, where 43% of homes burn oil, and 6 points less electric heat than the county's 11% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US33009, checked 2026-10-19).

Housing stock

Campton has 1,939 housing units, 13% built before 1940 and 31% before 1980, with 23% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=060XX00US3300908660, checked 2026-10-19).

Campton has 7 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Grafton County as a whole (20%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US33009, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Campton home was built in 1985 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=060XX00US3300908660, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.4 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=060XX00US3300908660, checked 2026-10-19).

79% of Campton homes are single-family detached, 0% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 9% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=060XX00US3300908660, checked 2026-10-19).

With 79% detached houses and 0% in small multi-family buildings, a Campton quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 6% of Campton homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US3300908660, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.

Campton has 18 points more detached houses than Grafton County overall (61%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US33009, checked 2026-10-19).

Only 6% of Campton homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US3300908660, checked 2026-10-19), so nearly every quote here is the resident talking to the installer directly, and the rebate goes to the person living in the house.

Rebate path

Eversource and New Hampshire Electric Cooperative each list Campton for electric service (New Hampshire Department of Energy, utilities by city and town, https://www.energy.nh.gov/utilities-providers/utilities-city-town, checked 2026-10-19); the bill decides the rebate path.

NHSaves air source heat pump rebate, run by NHSaves (Eversource, Liberty, Unitil), is a live program for New Hampshire addresses and lists a standard figure of $250 (registry row 6 verified 2026-10-14, https://nhsaves.com/residential/electric-heating-cooling-equipment/, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Campton address before counting it. With 5% of Campton homes already on electric heat and 70% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.

Median household income in Campton is $118,870 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=060XX00US3300908660, checked 2026-10-19); many state and utility heat pump rebate programs set higher incentive tiers for income-qualifying households, so the household income on the application, not the town median, decides which level applies.

Cold-day number

Heating design temperature: -18F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Grafton County row, 99% heating, PDF page 81 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 -18F figure is the Grafton County cold-day number a Campton heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at -18F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.

Next step

Ask what happens to the oil tank, since 48% of the 1,289 occupied Campton homes have one and removal is usually a separate line on the quote.

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Campton home has 5.4 rooms and was built around 1985, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
