The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Sandy Springs that is 30327, 30328, 30342, 30350 (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 Sandy Springs is $104,340 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1368516, 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.
32% of Sandy Springs homes are single-family detached, 5% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 52% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US1368516, checked 2026-10-19).
With 52% of Sandy Springs homes in buildings of five or more units and 32% detached, the condo association usually decides where outdoor units can go, so that approval comes before the quote. With 50% of Sandy Springs homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1368516, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Sandy Springs has 14 points fewer detached houses than Fulton County overall (46%) and 11 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 41% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US13121, checked 2026-10-19).
50% of Sandy Springs homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1368516, 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.
Of the 51,647 occupied homes in Sandy Springs, 51% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 46% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1368516, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 51% of Sandy Springs against electricity at 46%, and a cold-climate heat pump sized for this market replaces the gas system outright, so the usual quote is a whole-home install.
Sandy Springs has about the Fulton County oil share of 0% and 3 points less electric heat than the county's 49% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US13121, checked 2026-10-19).

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 Sandy Springs address before counting it. With 46% of Sandy Springs homes already on electric heat and 53% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
Sandy Springs has 55,203 housing units, 1% built before 1940 and 29% before 1980, with 32% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1368516, checked 2026-10-19).
Sandy Springs has 5 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Fulton County as a whole (6%) and 8 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 40% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US13121, checked 2026-10-19).

That 20F figure is the Fulton County cold-day number a Sandy Springs 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.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 51% of Sandy Springs on gas and 46% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Sandy Springs home has 4.9 rooms and was built around 1989, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
