Heat pump installation in Purcell, OK - up to $500 rebate

Purcell in McClain County

Purcell has 6,803 residents (give or take 35) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US4061150, checked 2026-10-19), about 448 people per square mile.

Purcell is about 32 miles from the Census center point for Oklahoma City in a straight line and covers 15.195 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).

Purcell is spread out at 448 people per square mile across 15.195 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.

Fuel mix

Of the 2,548 occupied homes in Purcell, 58% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 36% with electricity and 4% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4061150, checked 2026-10-19).

Gas heats 58% of Purcell against electricity at 36%, 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.

Purcell has about the McClain County oil share of 0% and 7 points less electric heat than the county's 43% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US40087, checked 2026-10-19).

Housing stock

Purcell has 2,795 housing units, 10% built before 1940 and 43% before 1980, with 21% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4061150, checked 2026-10-19).

Purcell has 7 points more pre-1940 homes than McClain County as a whole (3%) and 26 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 47% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US40087, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.

The median Purcell home was built in 1983 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4061150, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.4 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4061150, checked 2026-10-19).

78% of Purcell homes are single-family detached, 2% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 12% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4061150, checked 2026-10-19).

With 78% detached houses and 2% in small multi-family buildings, a Purcell quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 43% of Purcell homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4061150, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.

Purcell has 5 points fewer detached houses than McClain County overall (83%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US40087, checked 2026-10-19).

43% of Purcell homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4061150, 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.

Rebate path

No electric utility is on file for Purcell 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 Purcell address before counting it. With 36% of Purcell homes already on electric heat and 62% 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 Purcell is $63,457 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4061150, 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.

Cold-day number

Heating design temperature: 13F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), McClain County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 97 to 100 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 13F figure is the McClain County cold-day number a Purcell 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.

Next step

Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 58% of Purcell on gas and 36% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Purcell home has 5.4 rooms and was built around 1983, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
