Manchester / Newington
Newington has 939 residents (give or take 275) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=060XX00US3301551620, checked 2026-10-19), about 116 people per square mile.
Newington is about 32 miles from the Census center point for Manchester in a straight line and covers 8.109 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 Newington that is 03801 (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 360 occupied homes in Newington, 11% heat with natural gas, 57% with heating oil, 6% with electricity and 22% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=060XX00US3301551620, checked 2026-10-19).
Heating oil is the largest single fuel in Newington at 57%, ahead of propane at 22%, 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.
Newington has 15 points more oil heat than Rockingham County as a whole, where 42% of homes burn oil, and 6 points less electric heat than the county's 12% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US33015, checked 2026-10-19).
Newington has 366 housing units, 22% built before 1940 and 44% before 1980, with 17% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=060XX00US3301551620, checked 2026-10-19).
Newington has 10 points more pre-1940 homes than Rockingham County as a whole (12%) and 6 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 23% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US33015, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
The median Newington home was built in 1984 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=060XX00US3301551620, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 7.7 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=060XX00US3301551620, checked 2026-10-19).
86% of Newington homes are single-family detached, 5% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 0% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=060XX00US3301551620, checked 2026-10-19).
With 86% detached houses and 5% in small multi-family buildings, a Newington quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 13% of Newington homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US3301551620, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Newington has 21 points more detached houses than Rockingham County overall (65%) and 16 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=050XX00US33015, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 13% of Newington homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US3301551620, 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.
Eversource lists Newington among the New Hampshire communities it serves for electricity (New Hampshire Department of Energy, utilities by city and town, https://www.energy.nh.gov/utilities-providers/utilities-city-town, checked 2026-10-19).
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 Newington address before counting it. With 6% of Newington homes already on electric heat and 90% 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 Newington is $145,833 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=060XX00US3301551620, 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.

That 0F figure is the Rockingham County cold-day number a Newington heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 0F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask what happens to the oil tank, since 57% of the 360 occupied Newington homes have one and removal is usually a separate line on the quote.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Newington home has 7.7 rooms and was built around 1984, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
