Of the 30,289 occupied homes in Brick, 82% heat with natural gas, 2% with heating oil, 14% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=060XX00US3402907420, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 82% of Brick against electricity at 14%, 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.
Brick has about the Ocean County oil share of 4% and 1 points less electric heat than the county's 15% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US34029, checked 2026-10-19).
Brick has 33,277 housing units, 3% built before 1940 and 59% before 1980, with 9% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=060XX00US3402907420, checked 2026-10-19).
Brick has 15 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 24% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US34029, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Brick home was built in 1976 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=060XX00US3402907420, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=060XX00US3402907420, checked 2026-10-19).
78% of Brick homes are single-family detached, 3% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 8% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=060XX00US3402907420, checked 2026-10-19).
With 78% detached houses and 3% in small multi-family buildings, a Brick quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 18% of Brick homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US3402907420, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
No electric utility is on file for Brick on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
JCP&L Clean Comfort (residential building decarbonization), run by JCP&L, is a live program for New Jersey addresses and covers qualifying equipment at $7,500 per system (registry row 8 verified 2026-10-15, https://www.neifund.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/0925_JCPL_Res_Bldg-Decarb_5860532_FRM_Rebate-Application_2025.pdf, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Brick address before counting it. With 14% of Brick homes already on electric heat and 85% 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 Brick is $106,130 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=060XX00US3402907420, 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: 13F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Ocean County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 81 to 82 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 13F figure is the Ocean County cold-day number a Brick heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 13F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 82% of Brick on gas and 14% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Brick home has 6 rooms and was built around 1976, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
