Harrisburg / New Holland
New Holland has 5,780 residents (give or take 30) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US4253696, checked 2026-10-19), about 2,975 people per square mile.
New Holland is about 44 miles from the Census center point for Harrisburg in a straight line and covers 1.943 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).
Of the 2,330 occupied homes in New Holland, 34% heat with natural gas, 22% with heating oil, 37% with electricity and 5% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4253696, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 37% of New Holland homes, ahead of gas at 34%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
New Holland has 6 points more oil heat than Lancaster County as a whole, where 16% of homes burn oil, and 2 points more electric heat than the county's 35% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US42071, checked 2026-10-19).
New Holland has 2,353 housing units, 23% built before 1940 and 63% before 1980, with 10% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4253696, checked 2026-10-19).
New Holland has 3 points more pre-1940 homes than Lancaster County as a whole (20%) and 11 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 21% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US42071, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
The median New Holland home was built in 1970 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4253696, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.2 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4253696, checked 2026-10-19).
55% of New Holland homes are single-family detached, 10% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 13% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4253696, checked 2026-10-19).
31% of New Holland homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4253696, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 55% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
63% of New Holland homes were built before 1980 and only 10% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4253696, 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.
No electric utility is on file for New Holland on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Median household income in New Holland is $63,182 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4253696, 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: 8F.

That 8F figure is the Lancaster County cold-day number a New Holland heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 8F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median New Holland home has 6.2 rooms and was built around 1970, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
