Lonoke is about 26 miles from the Census center point for Little Rock in a straight line and covers 4.807 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 1,951 occupied homes in Lonoke, 40% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 58% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US0541420, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 58% of Lonoke homes, ahead of gas at 40%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Lonoke has about the Lonoke County oil share of 0% and 9 points less electric heat than the county's 67% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US05085, checked 2026-10-19).
Lonoke has 2,123 housing units, 10% built before 1940 and 42% before 1980, with 15% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0541420, checked 2026-10-19).

An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
The median Lonoke home was built in 1983 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US0541420, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.8 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US0541420, checked 2026-10-19).
83% of Lonoke homes are single-family detached, 12% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 2% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US0541420, checked 2026-10-19).
With 83% detached houses and 12% in small multi-family buildings, a Lonoke quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 24% of Lonoke homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0541420, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Lonoke has 6 points more detached houses than Lonoke County overall (77%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US05085, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Lonoke 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 Lonoke is $47,524 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US0541420, 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 20F figure is the Lonoke County cold-day number a Lonoke heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 20F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Lonoke home has 5.8 rooms and was built around 1983, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
