Oklahoma City / El Reno
El Reno has 18,557 residents (give or take 36) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US4023700, checked 2026-10-19), about 233 people per square mile.
El Reno is about 26 miles from the Census center point for Oklahoma City in a straight line and covers 79.584 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 El Reno that is 73022, 73036 (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).
El Reno is spread out at 233 people per square mile across 79.584 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 6,154 occupied homes in El Reno, 56% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 40% with electricity and 3% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4023700, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 56% of El Reno against electricity at 40%, 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.
El Reno has about the Canadian County oil share of 0% and 5 points more electric heat than the county's 35% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US40017, checked 2026-10-19).
El Reno has 6,824 housing units, 16% built before 1940 and 63% before 1980, with 22% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4023700, checked 2026-10-19).
El Reno has 13 points more pre-1940 homes than Canadian County as a whole (3%) and 27 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 49% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US40017, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
The median El Reno home was built in 1968 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4023700, 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=160XX00US4023700, checked 2026-10-19).
80% of El Reno homes are single-family detached, 5% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 8% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4023700, checked 2026-10-19).
With 80% detached houses and 5% in small multi-family buildings, a El Reno quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 40% of El Reno homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4023700, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
40% of El Reno homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4023700, 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.
63% of El Reno homes were built before 1980 and only 22% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4023700, 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 El Reno 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 El Reno address before counting it. With 40% of El Reno homes already on electric heat and 59% 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 El Reno is $56,219 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4023700, 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: 13F.

That 13F figure is the Canadian County cold-day number a El Reno heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 13F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 56% of El Reno on gas and 40% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median El Reno home has 5.2 rooms and was built around 1968, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
