Baldwinsville is about 129 miles from the Census center point for Buffalo in a straight line and covers 3.19 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).

Fuel mix

Of the 3,689 occupied homes in Baldwinsville, 63% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 33% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3604198, checked 2026-10-19).

Gas heats 63% of Baldwinsville 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.

Baldwinsville has 3 points less oil heat than Onondaga County as a whole, where 3% of homes burn oil, and 12 points more electric heat than the county's 21% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US36067, checked 2026-10-19).

Housing stock

Baldwinsville has 3,784 housing units, 21% built before 1940 and 57% before 1980, with 20% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3604198, checked 2026-10-19).

Baldwinsville has 8 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 12% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US36067, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Baldwinsville home was built in 1975 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3604198, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.7 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3604198, checked 2026-10-19).

55% of Baldwinsville homes are single-family detached, 10% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 34% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3604198, checked 2026-10-19).

48% of Baldwinsville homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3604198, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 55% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.

Baldwinsville has 9 points fewer detached houses than Onondaga County overall (64%) and 15 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 19% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US36067, checked 2026-10-19).

48% of Baldwinsville homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3604198, checked 2026-10-19), so the market splits between resident-led jobs where the occupant picks the system and landlord-led jobs where they do not, and the rebate paperwork differs.

Rebate path

No electric utility is on file for Baldwinsville 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 Baldwinsville address before counting it. With 33% of Baldwinsville homes already on electric heat and 65% 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 Baldwinsville is $77,241 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3604198, 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.

Cold-day number

Heating design temperature: 0F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Onondaga 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 0F figure is the Onondaga County cold-day number a Baldwinsville heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 0F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.

Next step

Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 63% of Baldwinsville 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 Baldwinsville home has 5.7 rooms and was built around 1975, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
