Somers has 21,264 residents (give or take 28) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=060XX00US3611968308, checked 2026-10-19), about 714 people per square mile.
The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Somers that is 10501, 10505, 10519, 10527, 10536, 10540, 10578, 10589 (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).
Of the 8,102 occupied homes in Somers, 16% heat with natural gas, 48% with heating oil, 29% with electricity and 5% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=060XX00US3611968308, checked 2026-10-19).
Somers has 20 points more oil heat than Westchester County as a whole, where 28% of homes burn oil, and 15 points more electric heat than the county's 14% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US36119, checked 2026-10-19).
Heating oil is the largest single fuel in Somers at 48%, ahead of electricity at 29%, 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.
The median Somers home was built in 1980 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=060XX00US3611968308, 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=060XX00US3611968308, checked 2026-10-19).
Somers has 8,781 housing units, 8% built before 1940 and 50% before 1980, with 20% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=060XX00US3611968308, checked 2026-10-19).
Somers has 20 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Westchester County as a whole (28%) and 9 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 11% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US36119, checked 2026-10-19).
64% of Somers homes are single-family detached, 4% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 5% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=060XX00US3611968308, checked 2026-10-19).
11% of Somers homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US3611968308, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 64% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Somers has 21 points more detached houses than Westchester County overall (43%) and 30 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 35% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US36119, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 11% of Somers homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US3611968308, 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.
No electric utility is on file for Somers 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 Somers address before counting it. With 29% of Somers homes already on electric heat and 69% 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 Somers is $169,894 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=060XX00US3611968308, 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: 6F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Westchester County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 84 to 86 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 6F figure is the Westchester County cold-day number a Somers heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 6F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask what happens to the oil tank, since 48% of the 8,102 occupied Somers homes have one and removal is usually a separate line on the quote.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Somers home has 6.4 rooms and was built around 1980, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
