White Plains / Yonkers
Yonkers has 209,978 residents (give or take 75) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3684000, checked 2026-10-19), about 11,662 people per square mile.
Yonkers is about 8 miles from the Census center point for White Plains in a straight line and covers 18.006 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 Yonkers that is 10701, 10703, 10704, 10705, 10707, 10708, 10710 (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 Yonkers is $83,549 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3684000, 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.
At 11,662 people per square mile, Yonkers is dense enough that noise setback rules and outdoor-unit placement on a small lot are the first questions the installer works through.
25% of Yonkers homes are single-family detached, 20% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 51% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3684000, checked 2026-10-19).
With 51% of Yonkers homes in buildings of five or more units and 25% detached, the condo association usually decides where outdoor units can go, so that approval comes before the quote. With 54% of Yonkers homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3684000, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Yonkers has 18 points fewer detached houses than Westchester County overall (43%) and 16 points more 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).
54% of Yonkers homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3684000, 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 81,645 occupied homes in Yonkers, 57% heat with natural gas, 21% with heating oil, 15% with electricity and 3% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3684000, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas leads in Yonkers at 57%, but 24% of homes still burn delivered oil or propane, and those 19,595 or so homes are where a heat pump pays back fastest.
Yonkers has 7 points less oil heat than Westchester County as a whole, where 28% of homes burn oil, and 1 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).
No electric utility is on file for Yonkers 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 Yonkers address before counting it. With 15% of Yonkers 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.
Yonkers has 85,006 housing units, 27% built before 1940 and 81% before 1980, with 10% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3684000, checked 2026-10-19).
Yonkers tracks Westchester County on housing age, with the county at 28% pre-1940 and 11% post-2000 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US36119, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Yonkers home was built in 1958 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3684000, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 4.4 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3684000, checked 2026-10-19).
81% of Yonkers homes were built before 1980 and only 10% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3684000, 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.
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 Yonkers 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 whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 57% of Yonkers on gas and 15% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Yonkers home has 4.4 rooms and was built around 1958, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
