Denver / Bow Mar
Bow Mar has 1,047 residents (give or take 205) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US0808070, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,582 people per square mile.
Bow Mar is about 13 miles from the Census center point for Denver in a straight line and covers 0.662 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).
Of the 369 occupied homes in Bow Mar, 86% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 10% with electricity and 4% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US0808070, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 86% of Bow Mar against electricity at 10%, 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.
Bow Mar has about the Arapahoe County oil share of 0% and 21 points less electric heat than the county's 31% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US08005, checked 2026-10-19).
Bow Mar has 375 housing units, 0% built before 1940 and 83% before 1980, with 9% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0808070, checked 2026-10-19).
Bow Mar has 19 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 28% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US08005, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Bow Mar home was built in 1963 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US0808070, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 10 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US0808070, checked 2026-10-19).
100% of Bow Mar homes are single-family detached, 0% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 0% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US0808070, checked 2026-10-19).
With 100% detached houses and 0% in small multi-family buildings, a Bow Mar quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 1% of Bow Mar homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0808070, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Bow Mar has 44 points more detached houses than Arapahoe County overall (56%) and 29 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 29% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US08005, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 1% of Bow Mar homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0808070, 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.
83% of Bow Mar homes were built before 1980 and only 9% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0808070, 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.
No electric utility is on file for Bow Mar on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Colorado Heat Pump Tax Credit (HPTC), run by Colorado Energy Office, is a live program for Colorado addresses and lists a standard figure of $1,000 (registry row 4 verified 2026-10-15, https://energyoffice.colorado.gov/hptc, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Bow Mar address before counting it. With 10% of Bow Mar homes already on electric heat and 90% 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 Bow Mar is $241,583 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US0808070, 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: 3F.

That 3F figure is the Arapahoe County cold-day number a Bow Mar heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 3F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 86% of Bow Mar on gas and 10% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Bow Mar home has 10 rooms and was built around 1963, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
