White Plains / Yorktown Heights
Yorktown Heights is about 17 miles from the Census center point for White Plains in a straight line and covers 0.919 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).
Yorktown Heights has 1,966 residents (give or take 620) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3684088, checked 2026-10-19), about 2,139 people per square mile.
Of the 672 occupied homes in Yorktown Heights, 22% heat with natural gas, 61% with heating oil, 12% with electricity and 0% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3684088, checked 2026-10-19).
Yorktown Heights has 33 points more oil heat than Westchester County as a whole, where 28% of homes burn oil, and 2 points less 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 Yorktown Heights at 61%, ahead of gas at 22%, 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 Yorktown Heights home was built in 1958 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3684088, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 7 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3684088, checked 2026-10-19).
Yorktown Heights has 702 housing units, 19% built before 1940 and 82% before 1980, with 6% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3684088, checked 2026-10-19).
Yorktown Heights has 9 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Westchester County as a whole (28%) and 5 points fewer 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).
82% of Yorktown Heights homes were built before 1980 and only 6% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3684088, 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.
71% of Yorktown Heights homes are single-family detached, 9% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 21% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3684088, checked 2026-10-19).
With 71% detached houses and 9% in small multi-family buildings, a Yorktown Heights quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 19% of Yorktown Heights homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3684088, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Yorktown Heights has 28 points more detached houses than Westchester County overall (43%) and 14 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).
No electric utility is on file for Yorktown Heights 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 Yorktown Heights address before counting it. With 12% of Yorktown Heights homes already on electric heat and 83% 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 Yorktown Heights is $186,961 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3684088, 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.

That 6F figure is the Westchester County cold-day number a Yorktown Heights 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 61% of the 672 occupied Yorktown Heights homes have one and removal is usually a separate line on the quote.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Yorktown Heights home has 7 rooms and was built around 1958, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
