Manchester / North Conway
North Conway has 2,041 residents (give or take 483) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3353860, checked 2026-10-19), about 299 people per square mile.
North Conway is about 74 miles from the Census center point for Manchester in a straight line and covers 6.815 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 North Conway that is 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).
Median household income in North Conway is $71,198 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3353860, 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.
48% of North Conway homes are single-family detached, 11% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 33% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3353860, checked 2026-10-19).
52% of North Conway homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3353860, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 48% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
North Conway has 29 points fewer detached houses than Carroll County overall (77%) and 26 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).
52% of North Conway homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3353860, checked 2026-10-19), so the market splits between resident-led jobs where the occupant picks the system and landlord-led jobs where they do not, and the rebate paperwork differs.
Of the 1,176 occupied homes in North Conway, 1% heat with natural gas, 33% with heating oil, 26% with electricity and 34% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3353860, checked 2026-10-19).
Propane leads in North Conway at 34%, ahead of oil at 33%, 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.
North Conway has 9 points less oil heat than Carroll County as a whole, where 42% of homes burn oil, and 16 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).
Eversource and New Hampshire Electric Cooperative each list North 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 North Conway address before counting it. With 26% of North Conway homes already on electric heat and 68% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
North Conway has 1,816 housing units, 18% built before 1940 and 61% before 1980, with 7% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3353860, checked 2026-10-19).
North Conway has 3 points more pre-1940 homes than Carroll County as a whole (15%) and 13 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 20% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US33003, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
The median North Conway home was built in 1976 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3353860, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.2 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3353860, checked 2026-10-19).
61% of North Conway homes were built before 1980 and only 7% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3353860, checked 2026-10-19), so most of the stock predates modern insulation codes; the installer's heat-loss calculation, not a square-footage rule, decides the tonnage.
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 North 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.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median North Conway home has 5.2 rooms and was built around 1976, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
