Hempstead / Cutchogue
Cutchogue has 2,835 residents (give or take 422) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3619466, checked 2026-10-19), about 290 people per square mile.
Cutchogue is about 63 miles from the Census center point for Hempstead in a straight line and covers 9.777 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).
The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Cutchogue that is 11935 (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 1,130 occupied homes in Cutchogue, 28% heat with natural gas, 58% with heating oil, 0% with electricity and 12% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3619466, checked 2026-10-19).
Heating oil is the largest single fuel in Cutchogue at 58%, ahead of gas at 28%, so the usual job here is an oil boiler or furnace coming out and a cold-climate heat pump going in, with the oil tank removed.
Cutchogue has 14 points more oil heat than Suffolk County as a whole, where 44% of homes burn oil, and 9 points less electric heat than the county's 9% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US36103, checked 2026-10-19).
Cutchogue has 1,964 housing units, 25% built before 1940 and 66% before 1980, with 16% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3619466, checked 2026-10-19).
Cutchogue has 16 points more pre-1940 homes than Suffolk County as a whole (9%) and 3 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 13% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US36103, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
The median Cutchogue home was built in 1971 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3619466, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.6 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3619466, checked 2026-10-19).
96% of Cutchogue homes are single-family detached, 2% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 0% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3619466, checked 2026-10-19).
With 96% detached houses and 2% in small multi-family buildings, a Cutchogue quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 7% of Cutchogue homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3619466, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Cutchogue has 16 points more detached houses than Suffolk County overall (80%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US36103, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 7% of Cutchogue homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3619466, 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.
66% of Cutchogue homes were built before 1980 and only 16% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3619466, checked 2026-10-19), so most of the stock predates modern insulation codes; the installer's heat-loss calculation, not a square-footage rule, decides the tonnage.
No electric utility is on file for Cutchogue on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
NYS Clean Heat (Con Edison), run by Con Edison, is a live program for New York addresses and lists a standard figure of $7,000 (registry row 5 verified 2026-10-16, https://www.coned.com/en/save-money/rebates-incentives-tax-credits/rebates-incentives-tax-credits-for-residential-customers/electric-heating-and-cooling-technology-for-renters-homeowners/save-on-a-central-air-source-heat-pump, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Cutchogue address before counting it. With 0% of Cutchogue homes already on electric heat and 98% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
Median household income in Cutchogue is $143,472 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3619466, 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: 7F.

That 7F figure is the Suffolk County cold-day number a Cutchogue heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 7F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask what happens to the oil tank, since 58% of the 1,130 occupied Cutchogue homes have one and removal is usually a separate line on the quote.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Cutchogue home has 6.6 rooms and was built around 1971, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
