Las Vegas / Boulder City
Boulder City is about 33 miles from the Census center point for Las Vegas in a straight line and covers 212.279 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).
Boulder City has 14,919 residents (give or take 22) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3206500, checked 2026-10-19), about 70 people per square mile.
The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Boulder City that is 89005 (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).
Boulder City is spread out at 70 people per square mile across 212.279 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 6,574 occupied homes in Boulder City, 57% heat with natural gas, 2% with heating oil, 38% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3206500, checked 2026-10-19).
Boulder City has about the Clark County oil share of 0% and 2 points more electric heat than the county's 36% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US32003, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 57% of Boulder City against electricity at 38%, 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.
The median Boulder City home was built in 1981 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3206500, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.8 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3206500, checked 2026-10-19).
Boulder City has 7,309 housing units, 9% built before 1940 and 48% before 1980, with 16% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3206500, checked 2026-10-19).
Boulder City has 9 points more pre-1940 homes than Clark County as a whole (0%) and 29 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 45% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US32003, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
69% of Boulder City homes are single-family detached, 6% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 9% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3206500, checked 2026-10-19).
22% of Boulder City homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3206500, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 69% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Boulder City has 9 points more detached houses than Clark County overall (60%) and 15 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 24% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US32003, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Boulder City 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 Boulder City is $74,757 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3206500, 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), Clark County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 80 to 81 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 Clark County cold-day number a Boulder City 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 57% of Boulder City on gas and 38% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Boulder City home has 5.8 rooms and was built around 1981, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
