Oklahoma City / Tulsa
Tulsa has 413,794 residents (give or take 125) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US4075000, checked 2026-10-19), about 2,093 people per square mile.
Tulsa is about 101 miles from the Census center point for Oklahoma City in a straight line and covers 197.737 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 Tulsa that is 74103, 74104, 74105, 74106, 74107, 74108, 74110, 74112 and 19 more (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).
Of the 172,909 occupied homes in Tulsa, 58% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 40% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4075000, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 58% of Tulsa 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.
Tulsa has about the Tulsa County oil share of 0% and 4 points more electric heat than the county's 36% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US40143, checked 2026-10-19).
Tulsa has 192,797 housing units, 9% built before 1940 and 65% before 1980, with 14% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4075000, checked 2026-10-19).
Tulsa has 10 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 24% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US40143, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Tulsa home was built in 1973 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4075000, 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=160XX00US4075000, checked 2026-10-19).
62% of Tulsa homes are single-family detached, 7% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 27% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4075000, checked 2026-10-19).
48% of Tulsa homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4075000, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 62% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Tulsa has 7 points fewer detached houses than Tulsa County overall (69%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US40143, checked 2026-10-19).
48% of Tulsa homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4075000, 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.
65% of Tulsa homes were built before 1980 and only 14% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4075000, 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 Tulsa 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 Tulsa address before counting it. With 40% of Tulsa 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 Tulsa is $59,838 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4075000, 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: 17F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Tulsa 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 17F figure is the Tulsa County cold-day number a Tulsa heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 17F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 58% of Tulsa 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 Tulsa home has 5.2 rooms and was built around 1973, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
