Median household income in Paradise is $59,190 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3254600, 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.
4,384 people per square mile puts Paradise in suburban density, where the outdoor unit usually sits in a side yard and the noise is not an issue for neighbors.
34% of Paradise homes are single-family detached, 11% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 48% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3254600, checked 2026-10-19).
With 48% of Paradise homes in buildings of five or more units and 34% detached, the condo association usually decides where outdoor units can go, so that approval comes before the quote. With 58% of Paradise homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3254600, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Paradise has 26 points fewer detached houses than Clark County overall (60%) and 24 points more 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).
58% of Paradise homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3254600, 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.
Of the 75,934 occupied homes in Paradise, 45% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 52% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3254600, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 52% of Paradise homes, ahead of gas at 45%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Paradise has about the Clark County oil share of 0% and 16 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).
No electric utility is on file for Paradise on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Paradise has 94,312 housing units, 0% built before 1940 and 35% before 1980, with 22% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3254600, checked 2026-10-19).

That 17F figure is the Clark County cold-day number a Paradise 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 Paradise home has 4.1 rooms and was built around 1988, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
