The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Wolfeboro that is 03894 (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).
Wolfeboro is spread out at 137 people per square mile across 47.951 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.
Of the 2,776 occupied homes in Wolfeboro, 2% heat with natural gas, 55% with heating oil, 15% with electricity and 18% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=060XX00US3300386420, checked 2026-10-19).
Heating oil is the largest single fuel in Wolfeboro at 55%, ahead of propane at 18%, 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.
Wolfeboro has 13 points more oil heat than Carroll County as a whole, where 42% of homes burn oil, and 5 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).

The median Wolfeboro home was built in 1982 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=060XX00US3300386420, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.3 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=060XX00US3300386420, checked 2026-10-19).
82% of Wolfeboro homes are single-family detached, 7% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 2% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=060XX00US3300386420, checked 2026-10-19).
With 82% detached houses and 7% in small multi-family buildings, a Wolfeboro quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 22% of Wolfeboro homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US3300386420, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Wolfeboro has 5 points more detached houses than Carroll County overall (77%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US33003, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Wolfeboro on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
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 Wolfeboro address before counting it. With 15% of Wolfeboro homes already on electric heat and 75% 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 Wolfeboro is $94,375 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=060XX00US3300386420, 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.
Heating design temperature: -18F.

That -18F figure is the Carroll County cold-day number a Wolfeboro 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 what happens to the oil tank, since 55% of the 2,776 occupied Wolfeboro homes have one and removal is usually a separate line on the quote.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Wolfeboro home has 6.3 rooms and was built around 1982, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
