Birmingham / Leeds
Leeds is about 13 miles from the Census center point for Birmingham in a straight line and covers 22.806 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).
Leeds has 12,028 residents (give or take 524) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US0141968, checked 2026-10-19), about 527 people per square mile.
The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Leeds that is 35094 (Census 2020 ZCTA to county subdivision and ZCTA to place relationship files, ZIP areas at least 20% inside the town, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_cousub20_natl.txt and https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_place20_natl.txt, checked 2026-10-19).
Of the 4,561 occupied homes in Leeds, 51% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 47% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US0141968, checked 2026-10-19).
Leeds has about the Jefferson County oil share of 0% and 2 points less electric heat than the county's 49% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US01073, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 51% of Leeds against electricity at 47%, and a cold-climate heat pump sized for this market replaces the gas system outright, so the usual quote is a whole-home install.
The median Leeds home was built in 1980 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US0141968, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.8 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US0141968, checked 2026-10-19).
Leeds has 4,987 housing units, 6% built before 1940 and 50% before 1980, with 18% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0141968, checked 2026-10-19).
Leeds has 4 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Jefferson County as a whole (10%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US01073, checked 2026-10-19).
74% of Leeds homes are single-family detached, 3% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 11% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US0141968, checked 2026-10-19).
With 74% detached houses and 3% in small multi-family buildings, a Leeds quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 28% of Leeds homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0141968, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Leeds has 5 points more detached houses than Jefferson County overall (69%) and 10 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 21% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US01073, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Leeds 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 covers qualifying equipment at $1,000 per system (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 Leeds address before counting it. With 47% of Leeds homes already on electric heat and 52% 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 Leeds address before counting it.
Median household income in Leeds is $69,737 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US0141968, 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.
Heating design temperature: 24F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Jefferson 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 Jefferson County cold-day number a Leeds 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 whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 51% of Leeds on gas and 47% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Leeds home has 5.8 rooms and was built around 1980, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
