Las Vegas / Searchlight
Searchlight has 246 residents (give or take 109) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3265600, checked 2026-10-19), about 64 people per square mile.
Searchlight is about 57 miles from the Census center point for Las Vegas in a straight line and covers 3.874 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).
Median household income in Searchlight is $49,766 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3265600, 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.
22% of Searchlight homes are single-family detached, 8% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 0% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3265600, checked 2026-10-19).
7% of Searchlight homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3265600, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 22% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Searchlight has 38 points fewer detached houses than Clark County overall (60%) and 24 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).
Only 7% of Searchlight homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3265600, checked 2026-10-19), so nearly every quote here is the resident talking to the installer directly, and the rebate goes to the person living in the house.
Of the 211 occupied homes in Searchlight, 33% heat with natural gas, 9% with heating oil, 59% with electricity and 0% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3265600, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 59% of Searchlight homes, ahead of gas at 33%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Searchlight has 9 points more oil heat than Clark County as a whole, where 0% of homes burn oil, and 23 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 Searchlight on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Searchlight has 380 housing units, 0% built before 1940 and 43% before 1980, with 20% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3265600, checked 2026-10-19).
Searchlight has 25 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).
The median Searchlight home was built in 1983 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3265600, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 4 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3265600, checked 2026-10-19).
Heating design temperature: 17F.

That 17F figure is the Clark County cold-day number a Searchlight 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 Searchlight home has 4 rooms and was built around 1983, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
