Rebate path

No electric utility is on file for Clanton on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.

Alabama Power gas-furnace-to-heat-pump rebate, run by Alabama Power, is a live program for Alabama addresses and lists a standard figure of $1,000 (registry row 29 verified 2026-10-14, https://www.alabamapower.com/residential/save-money-and-energy/rebates-and-incentives.html, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Clanton address before counting it.

Cold-day number

Heating design temperature: 24F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Chilton County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 4 to 6 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 24F figure is the Chilton County cold-day number a Clanton heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 24F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.

Next step

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Clanton home has 5.6 rooms and was built around 1977, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
