Trenton / Clinton
Clinton has 2,789 residents (give or take 21) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3413720, checked 2026-10-19), about 2,072 people per square mile.
Clinton is about 30 miles from the Census center point for Trenton in a straight line and covers 1.346 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 1,063 occupied homes in Clinton, 61% heat with natural gas, 23% with heating oil, 14% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3413720, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas leads in Clinton at 61%, but 25% of homes still burn delivered oil or propane, and those 266 or so homes are where a heat pump pays back fastest.
Clinton has 7 points less oil heat than Hunterdon County as a whole, where 30% of homes burn oil, and 3 points more electric heat than the county's 11% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US34019, checked 2026-10-19).
Clinton has 1,089 housing units, 22% built before 1940 and 53% before 1980, with 16% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3413720, checked 2026-10-19).
Clinton has 5 points more pre-1940 homes than Hunterdon County as a whole (17%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US34019, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
The median Clinton home was built in 1978 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3413720, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.1 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3413720, checked 2026-10-19).
54% of Clinton homes are single-family detached, 15% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 18% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3413720, checked 2026-10-19).
30% of Clinton homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3413720, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 54% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Clinton has 20 points fewer detached houses than Hunterdon County overall (74%) and 10 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 8% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US34019, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Clinton 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 Clinton address before counting it. With 14% of Clinton homes already on electric heat and 86% 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 Clinton is $141,146 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3413720, 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: 6F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Hunterdon 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 6F figure is the Hunterdon County cold-day number a Clinton heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 6F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 61% of Clinton 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 Clinton home has 6.1 rooms and was built around 1978, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
