Heat pump installation in Clarksville, AR - rebates, sizing and local data

Clarksville in Johnson County

Clarksville has 9,526 residents (give or take 30) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US0514140, checked 2026-10-19), about 523 people per square mile.

Clarksville is about 81 miles from the Census center point for Little Rock in a straight line and covers 18.216 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).

Fuel mix

Of the 3,895 occupied homes in Clarksville, 41% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 54% with electricity and 3% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US0514140, checked 2026-10-19).

Electricity already heats 54% of Clarksville homes, ahead of gas at 41%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.

Clarksville has about the Johnson County oil share of 0% and 5 points less electric heat than the county's 59% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US05071, checked 2026-10-19).

Housing stock

Clarksville has 4,381 housing units, 7% built before 1940 and 39% before 1980, with 17% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0514140, checked 2026-10-19).

Clarksville has 4 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 21% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US05071, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Clarksville home was built in 1986 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US0514140, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US0514140, checked 2026-10-19).

66% of Clarksville homes are single-family detached, 17% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 12% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US0514140, checked 2026-10-19).

50% of Clarksville homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0514140, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 66% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.

Clarksville has 9 points fewer detached houses than Johnson County overall (75%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US05071, checked 2026-10-19).

50% of Clarksville homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0514140, 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.

Rebate path

No electric utility is on file for Clarksville on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.

Median household income in Clarksville is $37,373 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US0514140, 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: 21F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Johnson County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 8 to 11 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 21F figure is the Johnson County cold-day number a Clarksville heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 21F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.

Next step

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Clarksville home has 5 rooms and was built around 1986, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
