That 24F figure is the Walker County cold-day number a Jasper 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.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Jasper home has 5.9 rooms and was built around 1977, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
