With 35% of Prairie Grove homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0557170, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Prairie Grove has 18 points more detached houses than Washington County overall (62%) and 15 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 21% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US05143, checked 2026-10-19).
55% of Prairie Grove housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0557170, checked 2026-10-19), and homes that recent usually meet the insulation codes in place at the time, so a heat pump sized to the floor plan lands closer to the real load than it would in an older neighborhood.
No electric utility is on file for Prairie Grove 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 Prairie Grove is $70,701 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US0557170, 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 15F figure is the Washington County cold-day number a Prairie Grove heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 15F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 54% of Prairie Grove on gas and 42% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Prairie Grove home has 5.7 rooms and was built around 2002, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
