Buffalo / Victor
Victor has 2,687 residents (give or take 42) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3677376, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,966 people per square mile.
Victor is about 74 miles from the Census center point for Buffalo in a straight line and covers 1.367 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).
Of the 1,180 occupied homes in Victor, 79% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 17% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3677376, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 79% of Victor against electricity at 17%, 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.
Victor has 6 points less oil heat than Ontario County as a whole, where 6% of homes burn oil, and the same 17% electric share (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US36069, checked 2026-10-19).
Victor has 1,248 housing units, 17% built before 1940 and 57% before 1980, with 16% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3677376, checked 2026-10-19).
Victor has 9 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Ontario County as a whole (26%) and 5 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=050XX00US36069, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Victor home was built in 1973 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3677376, 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=160XX00US3677376, checked 2026-10-19).
75% of Victor homes are single-family detached, 12% 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=160XX00US3677376, checked 2026-10-19).
With 75% detached houses and 12% in small multi-family buildings, a Victor quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 20% of Victor homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3677376, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Victor has 8 points more detached houses than Ontario County overall (67%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US36069, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Victor 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 Victor address before counting it. With 17% of Victor homes already on electric heat and 81% 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 Victor is $90,227 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3677376, 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.

That 2F figure is the Ontario County cold-day number a Victor 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 79% of Victor on gas and 17% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Victor home has 6.6 rooms and was built around 1973, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
