Of the 71,542 occupied homes in Huntington, 53% heat with natural gas, 37% with heating oil, 6% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=060XX00US3610337000, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas leads in Huntington at 53%, but 39% of homes still burn delivered oil or propane, and those 27,901 or so homes are where a heat pump pays back fastest.
Huntington has 7 points less oil heat than Suffolk County as a whole, where 44% of homes burn oil, and 3 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).
Huntington has 73,982 housing units, 11% built before 1940 and 79% before 1980, with 10% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=060XX00US3610337000, checked 2026-10-19).
Huntington has 3 points fewer 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).
The median Huntington home was built in 1963 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=060XX00US3610337000, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 7 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=060XX00US3610337000, checked 2026-10-19).
84% of Huntington homes are single-family detached, 5% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 4% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=060XX00US3610337000, checked 2026-10-19).
With 84% detached houses and 5% in small multi-family buildings, a Huntington quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 11% of Huntington homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US3610337000, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Only 11% of Huntington homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US3610337000, 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.
79% of Huntington homes were built before 1980 and only 10% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=060XX00US3610337000, 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 Huntington 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 Huntington address before counting it. With 6% of Huntington homes already on electric heat and 92% 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 Huntington is $168,029 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=060XX00US3610337000, 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. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Suffolk County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 84 to 86 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 7F figure is the Suffolk County cold-day number a Huntington 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 whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 53% of Huntington on gas and 6% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Huntington home has 7 rooms and was built around 1963, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
