The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Tucker that is 30084, 30087 (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).

Fuel mix

Of the 14,704 occupied homes in Tucker, 67% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 31% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1377652, checked 2026-10-19).

Gas heats 67% of Tucker against electricity at 31%, and a cold-climate heat pump sized for this market replaces the gas system outright, so the usual quote is a whole-home install.

Tucker has about the DeKalb County oil share of 0% and 9 points less electric heat than the county's 40% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US13089, checked 2026-10-19).

Housing stock

Tucker has 16,355 housing units, 1% built before 1940 and 48% before 1980, with 24% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1377652, checked 2026-10-19).

Tucker has 3 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 27% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US13089, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Tucker home was built in 1981 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1377652, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.9 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US1377652, checked 2026-10-19).

60% of Tucker homes are single-family detached, 6% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 24% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US1377652, checked 2026-10-19).

37% of Tucker homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1377652, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 60% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.

Rebate path

No electric utility is on file for Tucker 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 Tucker address before counting it. With 31% of Tucker homes already on electric heat and 68% 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 Tucker is $80,317 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1377652, 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.

Cold-day number

Heating design temperature: 22F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), DeKalb 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 22F figure is the DeKalb County cold-day number a Tucker heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 22F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.

Next step

Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 67% of Tucker on gas and 31% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Tucker home has 5.9 rooms and was built around 1981, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
