Phoenix / Show Low
Show Low has 12,102 residents (give or take 29) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US0466470, checked 2026-10-19), about 185 people per square mile.
Show Low is about 127 miles from the Census center point for Phoenix in a straight line and covers 65.505 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 Show Low that is 85901 (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).
Show Low is spread out at 185 people per square mile across 65.505 square miles of land, so a long refrigerant line run between the outdoor unit and the farthest indoor head is the sizing question an installer checks first.
Of the 5,100 occupied homes in Show Low, 61% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 33% with electricity and 3% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US0466470, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 61% of Show Low against electricity at 33%, so most quotes here are a partial-home system that carries the shoulder seasons and the summer while the gas furnace handles the coldest nights, or a whole-home system when the house is ready for it.
Show Low has about the Navajo County oil share of 0% and 10 points more electric heat than the county's 23% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US04017, checked 2026-10-19).
Show Low has 7,766 housing units, 0% built before 1940 and 24% before 1980, with 44% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0466470, checked 2026-10-19).
Show Low has 3 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Navajo County as a whole (3%) and 13 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 31% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US04017, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Show Low home was built in 1997 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US0466470, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US0466470, checked 2026-10-19).
59% of Show Low homes are single-family detached, 7% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 7% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US0466470, checked 2026-10-19).
34% of Show Low homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0466470, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 59% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Show Low has 12 points fewer detached houses than Navajo County overall (71%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US04017, checked 2026-10-19).
44% of Show Low housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0466470, checked 2026-10-19), and homes that recent usually meet the insulation codes in place at the time, so a heat pump sized to the floor plan lands closer to the real load than it would in an older neighborhood.
No electric utility is on file for Show Low on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
SRP Cool Cash variable-capacity heat pump rebate, run by SRP, is a live program for Arizona addresses and covers qualifying equipment at $1,000 per system (registry row 32 verified 2026-10-14, https://www.srpnet.com/energy-savings-rebates/home/rebates/air-conditioner, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Show Low address before counting it. With 33% of Show Low homes already on electric heat and 64% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
Efficiency Arizona HEAR (Home Efficiency and Electrification Rebates): $8,000 usd_max (https://efficiencyarizona.com/, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the address.
Median household income in Show Low is $60,368 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US0466470, 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 Navajo County cold-day number a Show Low 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 61% of Show Low on gas and 33% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Show Low home has 5 rooms and was built around 1997, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
