Denver / Evergreen
Evergreen has 8,602 residents (give or take 1,077) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US0825390, checked 2026-10-19), about 747 people per square mile.
Evergreen is about 26 miles from the Census center point for Denver in a straight line and covers 11.522 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 3,498 occupied homes in Evergreen, 73% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 18% with electricity and 6% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US0825390, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 73% of Evergreen 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.
Evergreen has about the Jefferson County oil share of 0% and 5 points less electric heat than the county's 23% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US08059, checked 2026-10-19).
Evergreen has 3,893 housing units, 9% built before 1940 and 61% before 1980, with 12% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0825390, checked 2026-10-19).
Evergreen has 6 points more pre-1940 homes than Jefferson County as a whole (3%) and 8 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 20% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US08059, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
The median Evergreen home was built in 1976 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US0825390, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.9 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US0825390, checked 2026-10-19).
87% of Evergreen homes are single-family detached, 4% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 1% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US0825390, checked 2026-10-19).
With 87% detached houses and 4% in small multi-family buildings, a Evergreen quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 11% of Evergreen homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0825390, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Evergreen has 23 points more detached houses than Jefferson County overall (64%) and 21 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 22% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US08059, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 11% of Evergreen homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0825390, 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.
61% of Evergreen homes were built before 1980 and only 12% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0825390, 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 Evergreen 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 Evergreen address before counting it. With 18% of Evergreen 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 Evergreen is $150,417 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US0825390, 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.

That -2F figure is the Jefferson County cold-day number a Evergreen heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at -2F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 73% of Evergreen 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 Evergreen home has 6.9 rooms and was built around 1976, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
