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

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 Tuscumbia address before counting it.
Median household income in Tuscumbia is $59,143 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US0177280, 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.

That 20F figure is the Colbert County cold-day number a Tuscumbia heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 20F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Tuscumbia home has 5.7 rooms and was built around 1976, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
