Carrollton in numbers

Carrollton has 27,392 residents (give or take 60) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US1313492, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,188 people per square mile.

Carrollton is about 40 miles from the Census center point for Atlanta in a straight line and covers 23.054 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 Carrollton that is 30118 (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).

Median household income in Carrollton is $54,379 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1313492, 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.

Multi-family first

47% of Carrollton homes are single-family detached, 19% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 28% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US1313492, checked 2026-10-19).

59% of Carrollton homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1313492, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 47% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.

Carrollton has 26 points fewer detached houses than Carroll County overall (73%) and 20 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 8% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US13045, checked 2026-10-19).

59% of Carrollton homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1313492, 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.

Heating fuel in Carrollton

Of the 9,992 occupied homes in Carrollton, 38% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 61% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1313492, checked 2026-10-19).

Electricity already heats 61% of Carrollton homes, ahead of gas at 38%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.

Carrollton has about the Carroll County oil share of 1% and 3 points more electric heat than the county's 58% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US13045, checked 2026-10-19).

Your utility and the rebate

No electric utility is on file for Carrollton on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.

Georgia Power Home Energy Improvement Program heat pump conversion, run by Georgia Power, is a live program for Georgia addresses and covers qualifying equipment at $1,850 per system (registry row 28 verified 2026-10-14, https://www.georgiapower.com/residential/solutions/home-solutions.html, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Carrollton address before counting it. With 61% of Carrollton homes already on electric heat and 39% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.

Age of the stock

Carrollton tracks Carroll County on housing age, with the county at 5% pre-1940 and 34% post-2000 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US13045, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Carrollton home was built in 1989 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1313492, 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=160XX00US1313492, checked 2026-10-19).

Sizing for Carroll County

Heating design temperature: 20F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Carroll County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 20 to 27 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 20F figure is the Carroll County cold-day number a Carrollton heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 20F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.

Next step

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Carrollton home has 5 rooms and was built around 1989, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
