Healdsburg has 11,243 residents (give or take 47) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US0633056, checked 2026-10-19), about 2,544 people per square mile.
Healdsburg is about 63 miles from the Census center point for San Francisco in a straight line and covers 4.42 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 4,651 occupied homes in Healdsburg, 69% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 26% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US0633056, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 69% of Healdsburg against electricity at 26%, and a cold-climate heat pump sized for this market replaces the gas system outright, so the usual quote is a whole-home install.
Healdsburg has about the Sonoma County oil share of 0% and the same 26% electric share (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US06097, checked 2026-10-19).

Healdsburg has 5 points more pre-1940 homes than Sonoma County as a whole (8%) and 5 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 17% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US06097, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
The median Healdsburg home was built in 1981 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US0633056, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.1 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US0633056, checked 2026-10-19).
72% of Healdsburg homes are single-family detached, 13% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 10% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US0633056, checked 2026-10-19).
With 72% detached houses and 13% in small multi-family buildings, a Healdsburg quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 40% of Healdsburg homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0633056, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Healdsburg has 5 points more detached houses than Sonoma County overall (67%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US06097, checked 2026-10-19).
40% of Healdsburg homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0633056, 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.
No electric utility is on file for Healdsburg on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
LADWP Consumer Rebate Program heat pump HVAC, run by LADWP, is a live program for California addresses and publishes its terms without one headline figure (registry row 24 verified 2026-10-14, https://www.ladwp.com/residential-services/assistance-programs/consumer-rebate-program, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Healdsburg address before counting it. With 26% of Healdsburg homes already on electric heat and 70% 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 Healdsburg is $103,554 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US0633056, 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.
Heating design temperature: 26F.

That 26F figure is the Sonoma County cold-day number a Healdsburg heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 26F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 69% of Healdsburg on gas and 26% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Healdsburg home has 5.1 rooms and was built around 1981, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
