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

Enfield in Grafton County

Enfield has 4,475 residents (give or take 23) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=060XX00US3300924340, checked 2026-10-19), about 111 people per square mile.

Enfield is about 55 miles from the Census center point for Manchester in a straight line and covers 40.305 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 Enfield that is 03748 (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).

Enfield is spread out at 111 people per square mile across 40.305 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 2,227 occupied homes in Enfield, 2% heat with natural gas, 43% with heating oil, 15% with electricity and 32% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=060XX00US3300924340, checked 2026-10-19).

Heating oil is the largest single fuel in Enfield at 43%, ahead of propane at 32%, 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.

Enfield has about the Grafton County oil share of 43% and 4 points more 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

Enfield has 2,619 housing units, 19% built before 1940 and 42% before 1980, with 21% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=060XX00US3300924340, checked 2026-10-19).

Enfield tracks Grafton County on housing age, with the county at 20% pre-1940 and 21% post-2000 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US33009, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Enfield home was built in 1983 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=060XX00US3300924340, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.6 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=060XX00US3300924340, checked 2026-10-19).

75% of Enfield homes are single-family detached, 16% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 5% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=060XX00US3300924340, checked 2026-10-19).

With 75% detached houses and 16% in small multi-family buildings, a Enfield quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 18% of Enfield homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US3300924340, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.

Enfield has 14 points more detached houses than Grafton County overall (61%) and 11 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 16% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US33009, checked 2026-10-19).

Rebate path

Eversource, Liberty Utilities and New Hampshire Electric Cooperative each list Enfield 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 Enfield address before counting it. With 15% of Enfield homes already on electric heat and 77% 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 Enfield is $95,474 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=060XX00US3300924340, 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 Enfield 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 43% of the 2,227 occupied Enfield homes have one and removal is usually a separate line on the quote.

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Enfield home has 5.6 rooms and was built around 1983, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
