The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Mesquite that is 89027, 89034 (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 10,016 occupied homes in Mesquite, 5% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 93% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3246000, checked 2026-10-19).
Mesquite has about the Clark County oil share of 0% and 57 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).
Electricity already heats 93% of Mesquite homes, ahead of gas at 5%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
The median Mesquite home was built in 2004 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3246000, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3246000, checked 2026-10-19).
Mesquite has 12,438 housing units, 1% built before 1940 and 4% before 1980, with 65% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3246000, checked 2026-10-19).
Mesquite has 20 points more 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).
65% of Mesquite housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3246000, checked 2026-10-19), and homes that recent usually meet the insulation codes in place at the time, so a heat pump sized to the floor plan lands closer to the real load than it would in an older neighborhood.
63% of Mesquite homes are single-family detached, 13% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 6% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3246000, checked 2026-10-19).
19% of Mesquite homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3246000, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 63% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Mesquite has 18 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 Mesquite 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 Mesquite is $75,227 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3246000, 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.

That 17F figure is the Clark County cold-day number a Mesquite 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 for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Mesquite home has 5 rooms and was built around 2004, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
