Oklahoma City / Cushing
Cushing has 8,367 residents (give or take 48) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US4018850, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,102 people per square mile.
Cushing is about 55 miles from the Census center point for Oklahoma City in a straight line and covers 7.595 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 3,124 occupied homes in Cushing, 71% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 28% with electricity and 0% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4018850, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 71% of Cushing against electricity at 28%, so most quotes here are a partial-home system that carries the shoulder seasons and the summer while the gas furnace handles the coldest nights, or a whole-home system when the house is ready for it.
Cushing has about the Payne County oil share of 0% and 19 points less electric heat than the county's 47% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US40119, checked 2026-10-19).
Cushing has 3,733 housing units, 27% built before 1940 and 75% before 1980, with 9% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4018850, checked 2026-10-19).
Cushing has 20 points more pre-1940 homes than Payne County as a whole (7%) and 23 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 32% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US40119, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
The median Cushing home was built in 1958 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4018850, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.3 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4018850, checked 2026-10-19).
84% of Cushing homes are single-family detached, 7% 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=160XX00US4018850, checked 2026-10-19).
With 84% detached houses and 7% in small multi-family buildings, a Cushing quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 45% of Cushing homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4018850, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Cushing has 22 points more detached houses than Payne County overall (62%) and 15 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 20% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US40119, checked 2026-10-19).
45% of Cushing homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4018850, 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.
75% of Cushing homes were built before 1980 and only 9% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4018850, 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 Cushing on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Power Forward with PSO residential rebates (ASHP), run by PSO (Public Service Company of Oklahoma), is a live program for Oklahoma addresses and covers qualifying equipment at $500 per system (registry row 51 verified 2026-10-14, https://powerforwardwithpso.com/programs/heat-pump/, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Cushing address before counting it. With 28% of Cushing homes already on electric heat and 71% 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 Cushing is $44,136 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4018850, 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: 15F.

That 15F figure is the Payne County cold-day number a Cushing heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 15F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 71% of Cushing on gas and 28% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Cushing home has 5.3 rooms and was built around 1958, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
