Smyrna in numbers

Smyrna has 56,633 residents (give or take 61) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US1371492, checked 2026-10-19), about 3,503 people per square mile.

Smyrna is about 9 miles from the Census center point for Atlanta in a straight line and covers 16.169 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 Smyrna that is 30080, 30082 (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 Smyrna is $100,061 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1371492, 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.

3,503 people per square mile puts Smyrna in suburban density, where the outdoor unit usually sits in a side yard and the noise is not an issue for neighbors.

Multi-family first

46% of Smyrna homes are single-family detached, 4% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 32% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US1371492, checked 2026-10-19).

41% of Smyrna homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1371492, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 46% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.

Smyrna has 19 points fewer detached houses than Cobb County overall (65%) and 10 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 22% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US13067, checked 2026-10-19).

41% of Smyrna homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1371492, 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 Smyrna

Of the 24,809 occupied homes in Smyrna, 63% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 36% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1371492, checked 2026-10-19).

Gas heats 63% of Smyrna against electricity at 36%, and a cold-climate heat pump sized for this market replaces the gas system outright, so the usual quote is a whole-home install.

Smyrna has about the Cobb County oil share of 0% and 6 points more electric heat than the county's 30% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US13067, checked 2026-10-19).

Your utility and the rebate

No electric utility is on file for Smyrna 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 Smyrna address before counting it. With 36% of Smyrna homes already on electric heat and 64% 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

Smyrna has 27,040 housing units, 1% built before 1940 and 28% before 1980, with 36% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1371492, checked 2026-10-19).

Smyrna has 5 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 31% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US13067, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Smyrna home was built in 1990 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1371492, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.3 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US1371492, checked 2026-10-19).

Sizing for Cobb County

Heating design temperature: 23F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Cobb 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 23F figure is the Cobb County cold-day number a Smyrna heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 23F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.

Next step

Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 63% of Smyrna on gas and 36% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Smyrna home has 5.3 rooms and was built around 1990, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
