Buffalo / Woodstock
Woodstock has 6,258 residents (give or take 25) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=060XX00US3611183052, checked 2026-10-19), about 93 people per square mile.
Woodstock is about 246 miles from the Census center point for Buffalo in a straight line and covers 67.289 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 Woodstock that is 12409, 12448, 12457, 12495, 12498 (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).
Woodstock is spread out at 93 people per square mile across 67.289 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 3,409 occupied homes in Woodstock, 2% heat with natural gas, 47% with heating oil, 18% with electricity and 23% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=060XX00US3611183052, checked 2026-10-19).
Heating oil is the largest single fuel in Woodstock at 47%, ahead of propane at 23%, so the usual job here is an oil boiler or furnace coming out and a cold-climate heat pump going in, with the oil tank removed.
Woodstock has 4 points more oil heat than Ulster County as a whole, where 43% of homes burn oil, and 3 points more electric heat than the county's 15% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US36111, checked 2026-10-19).
Woodstock has 4,296 housing units, 23% built before 1940 and 73% before 1980, with 12% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=060XX00US3611183052, checked 2026-10-19).
Woodstock has 4 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Ulster County as a whole (27%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US36111, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Woodstock home was built in 1961 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=060XX00US3611183052, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.8 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=060XX00US3611183052, checked 2026-10-19).
87% of Woodstock homes are single-family detached, 7% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 3% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=060XX00US3611183052, checked 2026-10-19).
With 87% detached houses and 7% in small multi-family buildings, a Woodstock quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 16% of Woodstock homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US3611183052, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Woodstock has 19 points more detached houses than Ulster County overall (68%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US36111, checked 2026-10-19).
73% of Woodstock homes were built before 1980 and only 12% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=060XX00US3611183052, 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 Woodstock 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 Woodstock address before counting it. With 18% of Woodstock homes already on electric heat and 72% 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 Woodstock is $92,118 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=060XX00US3611183052, 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 Ulster County cold-day number a Woodstock 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 what happens to the oil tank, since 47% of the 3,409 occupied Woodstock homes have one and removal is usually a separate line on the quote.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Woodstock home has 5.8 rooms and was built around 1961, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
