Pittsburgh / Canonsburg
Canonsburg has 9,675 residents (give or take 23) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US4211152, checked 2026-10-19), about 4,188 people per square mile.
Canonsburg is about 16 miles from the Census center point for Pittsburgh in a straight line and covers 2.31 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).
4,188 people per square mile puts Canonsburg in suburban density, where the outdoor unit usually sits in a side yard and the noise is not an issue for neighbors.
Of the 4,244 occupied homes in Canonsburg, 74% heat with natural gas, 1% with heating oil, 24% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4211152, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 74% of Canonsburg against electricity at 24%, 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.
Canonsburg has 7 points less oil heat than Washington County as a whole, where 8% of homes burn oil, and 3 points more electric heat than the county's 21% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US42125, checked 2026-10-19).
Canonsburg has 4,612 housing units, 30% built before 1940 and 69% before 1980, with 19% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4211152, checked 2026-10-19).
Canonsburg has 4 points more pre-1940 homes than Washington County as a whole (26%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US42125, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
The median Canonsburg home was built in 1963 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4211152, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.5 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4211152, checked 2026-10-19).
60% of Canonsburg homes are single-family detached, 11% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 23% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4211152, checked 2026-10-19).
44% of Canonsburg homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4211152, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 60% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Canonsburg has 14 points fewer detached houses than Washington County overall (74%) and 15 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 8% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US42125, checked 2026-10-19).
44% of Canonsburg homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4211152, 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.
30% of Canonsburg homes were built before 1940 and 69% before 1980 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4211152, checked 2026-10-19), so insulation is the first sizing question: an older home leaks more heat per square foot, and the installer runs a room-by-room heat-loss calculation to size the system for what the walls and windows actually hold in, not just the floor plan.
No electric utility is on file for Canonsburg on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
PPL Electric Savings Phase V heat pump rebate, run by PPL Electric Utilities, is a live program for Pennsylvania addresses and lists a standard figure of $225 (registry row 16 verified 2026-10-15, https://www.pplelectricsavings.com/ppl/media/allresrebates_612026.pdf, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Canonsburg address before counting it. With 24% of Canonsburg homes already on electric heat and 76% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
PECO heating and cooling rebates (ASHP), run by PECO, is a live program for Pennsylvania addresses and covers qualifying equipment at $1,950 per system (registry row 17 verified 2026-10-14, https://pecohomerebateprogram.com/heating-cooling-rebates.html, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Canonsburg address before counting it.

Median household income in Canonsburg is $79,227 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4211152, 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: 5F.

That 5F figure is the Washington County cold-day number a Canonsburg heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 5F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 74% of Canonsburg on gas and 24% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; a Canonsburg house from before 1940 (30% of the 4,612 units) rarely matches a square-footage rule of thumb.
