Of the 2,848 occupied homes in Monroe, 70% heat with natural gas, 11% with heating oil, 11% with electricity and 4% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3647988, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas leads in Monroe at 70%, but 15% of homes still burn delivered oil or propane, and those 427 or so homes are where a heat pump pays back fastest.
Monroe has 16 points less oil heat than Orange County as a whole, where 27% of homes burn oil, and 4 points less electric heat than the county's 15% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US36071, checked 2026-10-19).
Monroe has 2,931 housing units, 10% built before 1940 and 50% before 1980, with 13% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3647988, checked 2026-10-19).
Monroe has 10 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Orange County as a whole (20%) and 8 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 21% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US36071, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Monroe home was built in 1980 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3647988, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.2 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3647988, checked 2026-10-19).
74% of Monroe homes are single-family detached, 6% 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=160XX00US3647988, checked 2026-10-19).
With 74% detached houses and 6% in small multi-family buildings, a Monroe quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 19% of Monroe homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3647988, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Monroe has 13 points more detached houses than Orange County overall (61%) and 11 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 18% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US36071, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Monroe 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 Monroe address before counting it. With 11% of Monroe homes already on electric heat and 85% 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 Monroe is $109,851 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3647988, 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: 2F.

That 2F figure is the Orange County cold-day number a Monroe heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 2F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 70% of Monroe on gas and 11% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Monroe home has 6.2 rooms and was built around 1980, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
