Putnam Valley is about 26 miles from the Census center point for White Plains in a straight line and covers 41.109 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 Putnam Valley that is 10537, 10579 (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).
Putnam Valley is spread out at 286 people per square mile across 41.109 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 4,086 occupied homes in Putnam Valley, 4% heat with natural gas, 68% with heating oil, 17% with electricity and 9% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=060XX00US3607960147, checked 2026-10-19).
Heating oil is the largest single fuel in Putnam Valley at 68%, ahead of electricity at 17%, 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.
Putnam Valley has 11 points more oil heat than Putnam County as a whole, where 57% of homes burn oil, and 6 points less electric heat than the county's 23% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US36079, checked 2026-10-19).
Putnam Valley has 4,862 housing units, 21% built before 1940 and 74% before 1980, with 11% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=060XX00US3607960147, checked 2026-10-19).
Putnam Valley has 4 points more pre-1940 homes than Putnam County as a whole (17%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US36079, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
The median Putnam Valley home was built in 1963 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=060XX00US3607960147, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.4 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=060XX00US3607960147, checked 2026-10-19).
96% of Putnam Valley homes are single-family detached, 2% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 0% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=060XX00US3607960147, checked 2026-10-19).
With 96% detached houses and 2% in small multi-family buildings, a Putnam Valley quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 10% of Putnam Valley homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US3607960147, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Putnam Valley has 19 points more detached houses than Putnam County overall (77%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US36079, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 10% of Putnam Valley homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US3607960147, checked 2026-10-19), so nearly every quote here is the resident talking to the installer directly, and the rebate goes to the person living in the house.
74% of Putnam Valley homes were built before 1980 and only 11% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=060XX00US3607960147, 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 Putnam Valley 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 Putnam Valley address before counting it. With 17% of Putnam Valley homes already on electric heat and 81% 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 Putnam Valley is $137,656 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=060XX00US3607960147, 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 Putnam County cold-day number a Putnam Valley 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 68% of the 4,086 occupied Putnam Valley homes have one and removal is usually a separate line on the quote.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Putnam Valley home has 6.4 rooms and was built around 1963, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
