Birmingham / Theodore
Theodore has 4,964 residents (give or take 812) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US0175768, checked 2026-10-19), about 622 people per square mile.
Theodore is about 222 miles from the Census center point for Birmingham in a straight line and covers 7.982 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 2,309 occupied homes in Theodore, 9% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 88% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US0175768, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 88% of Theodore homes, ahead of gas at 9%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Theodore has about the Mobile County oil share of 0% and 25 points more electric heat than the county's 63% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US01097, checked 2026-10-19).
Theodore has 2,524 housing units, 1% built before 1940 and 37% before 1980, with 35% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0175768, checked 2026-10-19).
Theodore has 3 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Mobile County as a whole (4%) and 13 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 22% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US01097, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Theodore home was built in 1989 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US0175768, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.1 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US0175768, checked 2026-10-19).
87% of Theodore homes are single-family detached, 0% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 1% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US0175768, checked 2026-10-19).
With 87% detached houses and 0% in small multi-family buildings, a Theodore quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 8% of Theodore homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0175768, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Theodore has 14 points more detached houses than Mobile County overall (73%) and 14 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 15% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US01097, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 8% of Theodore homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0175768, 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.
No electric utility is on file for Theodore 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 Theodore address before counting it. With 88% of Theodore homes already on electric heat and 10% 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 Theodore address before counting it.
Median household income in Theodore is $67,864 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US0175768, 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: 29F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Mobile 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 29F figure is the Mobile County cold-day number a Theodore heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 29F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Theodore home has 6.1 rooms and was built around 1989, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
