Englewood in Arapahoe County

Englewood has 34,129 residents (give or take 40) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US0824785, checked 2026-10-19), about 5,202 people per square mile.

Englewood is about 10 miles from the Census center point for Denver in a straight line and covers 6.561 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 Englewood that is 80110, 80113 (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).

5,202 people per square mile puts Englewood in suburban density, where the outdoor unit usually sits in a side yard and the noise is not an issue for neighbors.

Fuel mix

Of the 16,805 occupied homes in Englewood, 60% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 34% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US0824785, checked 2026-10-19).

Gas heats 60% of Englewood against electricity at 34%, 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.

Englewood has about the Arapahoe County oil share of 0% and 3 points more 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).

Housing stock

Englewood has 17,798 housing units, 11% built before 1940 and 68% before 1980, with 17% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0824785, checked 2026-10-19).

Englewood has 9 points more pre-1940 homes than Arapahoe County as a whole (2%) and 11 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). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.

The median Englewood home was built in 1964 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US0824785, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 4.6 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US0824785, checked 2026-10-19).

50% of Englewood homes are single-family detached, 6% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 37% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US0824785, checked 2026-10-19).

51% of Englewood homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0824785, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 50% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.

Englewood has 6 points fewer detached houses than Arapahoe County overall (56%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US08005, checked 2026-10-19).

51% of Englewood homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0824785, 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.

68% of Englewood homes were built before 1980 and only 17% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0824785, 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.

Rebate path

No electric utility is on file for Englewood 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 Englewood address before counting it. With 34% of Englewood homes already on electric heat and 62% 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 Englewood is $86,800 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US0824785, 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.

Cold-day number

Heating design temperature: 3F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Arapahoe County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 14 to 16 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 3F figure is the Arapahoe County cold-day number a Englewood 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.

Next step

Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 60% of Englewood on gas and 34% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Englewood home has 4.6 rooms and was built around 1964, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
