Colts Neck has 9,953 residents (give or take 24) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=060XX00US3402514560, checked 2026-10-19), about 324 people per square mile.
Colts Neck is about 32 miles from the Census center point for Trenton in a straight line and covers 30.715 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).
The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Colts Neck that is 07722 (Census 2020 ZCTA to county subdivision and ZCTA to place relationship files, ZIP areas at least 20% inside the town, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_cousub20_natl.txt and https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_place20_natl.txt, checked 2026-10-19).
Colts Neck is spread out at 324 people per square mile across 30.715 square miles of land, so a long refrigerant line run between the outdoor unit and the farthest indoor head is the sizing question an installer checks first.
Of the 3,610 occupied homes in Colts Neck, 85% heat with natural gas, 11% with heating oil, 3% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=060XX00US3402514560, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 85% of Colts Neck against oil at 11%, 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.

With 93% detached houses and 3% in small multi-family buildings, a Colts Neck quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 6% of Colts Neck homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US3402514560, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Colts Neck has 27 points more detached houses than Monmouth County overall (66%) and 16 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 17% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US34025, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 6% of Colts Neck homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US3402514560, checked 2026-10-19), so nearly every quote here is the resident talking to the installer directly, and the rebate goes to the person living in the house.
No electric utility is on file for Colts Neck 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 Colts Neck address before counting it. With 3% of Colts Neck homes already on electric heat and 97% 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 Colts Neck is $199,573 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=060XX00US3402514560, 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: 10F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Monmouth 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 10F figure is the Monmouth County cold-day number a Colts Neck heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 10F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 85% of Colts Neck on gas and 3% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Colts Neck home has 10 rooms and was built around 1982, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
