Heat pump installation in Fallon, NV - rebates, sizing and local data

Fallon in Churchill County

Fallon has 9,463 residents (give or take 41) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3224100, checked 2026-10-19), about 2,549 people per square mile.

Fallon is about 295 miles from the Census center point for Las Vegas in a straight line and covers 3.712 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).

Fuel mix

Of the 3,815 occupied homes in Fallon, 74% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 19% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3224100, checked 2026-10-19).

Gas heats 74% of Fallon against electricity at 19%, 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.

Fallon has about the Churchill County oil share of 2% and 3 points more electric heat than the county's 16% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US32001, checked 2026-10-19).

Housing stock

Fallon has 4,566 housing units, 8% built before 1940 and 40% before 1980, with 25% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3224100, checked 2026-10-19).

Fallon tracks Churchill County on housing age, with the county at 6% pre-1940 and 25% post-2000 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US32001, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Fallon home was built in 1985 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3224100, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 4.9 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3224100, checked 2026-10-19).

62% of Fallon homes are single-family detached, 18% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 7% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3224100, checked 2026-10-19).

49% of Fallon homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3224100, 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.

Fallon has 6 points fewer detached houses than Churchill County overall (68%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US32001, checked 2026-10-19).

49% of Fallon homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3224100, 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 Fallon 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 Fallon is $73,389 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3224100, 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: 10F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Churchill 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 10F figure is the Churchill County cold-day number a Fallon heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 10F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.

Next step

Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 74% of Fallon on gas and 19% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Fallon home has 4.9 rooms and was built around 1985, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
