Los Angeles / Redlands
Redlands has 73,375 residents (give or take 52) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US0659962, checked 2026-10-19), about 2,038 people per square mile.
Redlands is about 71 miles from the Census center point for Los Angeles in a straight line and covers 36 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 Redlands that is 92373, 92374 (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 25,152 occupied homes in Redlands, 77% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 18% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US0659962, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 77% of Redlands against electricity at 18%, so most quotes here are a partial-home system that carries the shoulder seasons and the summer while the gas furnace handles the coldest nights, or a whole-home system when the house is ready for it.
Redlands has about the San Bernardino County oil share of 0% and 3 points less electric heat than the county's 21% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US06071, checked 2026-10-19).
Redlands has 26,256 housing units, 9% built before 1940 and 58% before 1980, with 16% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0659962, checked 2026-10-19).
Redlands has 5 points more pre-1940 homes than San Bernardino County as a whole (4%) and 6 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 22% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US06071, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
The median Redlands home was built in 1976 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US0659962, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.3 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US0659962, checked 2026-10-19).
62% of Redlands 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=160XX00US0659962, checked 2026-10-19).
43% of Redlands homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0659962, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 62% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Redlands has 8 points fewer detached houses than San Bernardino County overall (70%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US06071, checked 2026-10-19).
43% of Redlands homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0659962, 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.
No electric utility is on file for Redlands on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
LADWP Consumer Rebate Program heat pump HVAC, run by LADWP, is a live program for California addresses and publishes its terms without one headline figure (registry row 24 verified 2026-10-14, https://www.ladwp.com/residential-services/assistance-programs/consumer-rebate-program, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Redlands address before counting it. With 18% of Redlands homes already on electric heat and 79% 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 Redlands is $105,041 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US0659962, 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: 7F.

That 7F figure is the San Bernardino County cold-day number a Redlands heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 7F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 77% of Redlands on gas and 18% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Redlands home has 5.3 rooms and was built around 1976, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
