Birmingham / Jacksonville
Jacksonville has 14,437 residents (give or take 27) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US0138272, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,324 people per square mile.
Jacksonville is about 63 miles from the Census center point for Birmingham in a straight line and covers 10.908 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).
Of the 4,961 occupied homes in Jacksonville, 13% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 85% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US0138272, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 85% of Jacksonville homes, ahead of gas at 13%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Jacksonville has about the Calhoun County oil share of 0% and 19 points more electric heat than the county's 66% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US01015, checked 2026-10-19).
Jacksonville has 5,620 housing units, 4% built before 1940 and 36% before 1980, with 28% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0138272, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Jacksonville home was built in 1989 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US0138272, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.2 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US0138272, checked 2026-10-19).
58% of Jacksonville homes are single-family detached, 12% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 23% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US0138272, checked 2026-10-19).
50% of Jacksonville homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0138272, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 58% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
No electric utility is on file for Jacksonville 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 Jacksonville address before counting it. With 85% of Jacksonville homes already on electric heat and 14% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
TVA EnergyRight heat pump rebate (north Alabama), run by TVA EnergyRight, is a live program for Alabama addresses and lists a standard figure of $500 (registry row 30 verified 2026-10-14, https://energyright.com/residential/rebates/heat-pump/, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Jacksonville address before counting it.
Heating design temperature: 21F.

That 21F figure is the Calhoun County cold-day number a Jacksonville heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 21F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Jacksonville home has 5.2 rooms and was built around 1989, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
