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

Conway in Carroll County

Conway has 10,141 residents (give or take 52) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=060XX00US3300314660, checked 2026-10-19), about 146 people per square mile.

Conway is about 73 miles from the Census center point for Manchester in a straight line and covers 69.482 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 Conway that is 03813, 03847, 03860 (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).

Conway is spread out at 146 people per square mile across 69.482 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 4,790 occupied homes in Conway, 4% heat with natural gas, 32% with heating oil, 13% with electricity and 37% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=060XX00US3300314660, checked 2026-10-19).

Propane leads in Conway at 37%, ahead of oil at 32%, and a propane home is the clearest heat pump case on this door because delivered fuel is priced per gallon with no pipe to fall back on.

Conway has 10 points less oil heat than Carroll County as a whole, where 42% of homes burn oil, and 3 points more electric heat than the county's 10% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US33003, checked 2026-10-19).

Housing stock

Conway has 7,151 housing units, 14% built before 1940 and 42% before 1980, with 22% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=060XX00US3300314660, checked 2026-10-19).

Conway tracks Carroll County on housing age, with the county at 15% pre-1940 and 20% post-2000 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US33003, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Conway home was built in 1983 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=060XX00US3300314660, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.3 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=060XX00US3300314660, checked 2026-10-19).

60% of Conway homes are single-family detached, 6% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 19% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=060XX00US3300314660, checked 2026-10-19).

29% of Conway homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US3300314660, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 60% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.

Conway has 17 points fewer detached houses than Carroll County overall (77%) and 12 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 7% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US33003, checked 2026-10-19).

Rebate path

Eversource and New Hampshire Electric Cooperative each list Conway 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 Conway address before counting it. With 13% of Conway homes already on electric heat and 73% 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 Conway is $64,385 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=060XX00US3300314660, 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), Carroll 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 Carroll County cold-day number a Conway 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 for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Conway home has 5.3 rooms and was built around 1983, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
