Tinton Falls is about 35 miles from the Census center point for Trenton in a straight line and covers 15.476 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 Tinton Falls that is 07712, 07724, 07753 (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).
Median household income in Tinton Falls is $117,308 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3473020, 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.
44% of Tinton Falls homes are single-family detached, 3% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 28% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3473020, checked 2026-10-19).
16% of Tinton Falls homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3473020, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 44% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Tinton Falls has 22 points fewer detached houses than Monmouth County overall (66%) and 11 points more 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).
Of the 8,700 occupied homes in Tinton Falls, 80% heat with natural gas, 3% with heating oil, 16% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3473020, checked 2026-10-19).

With 16% of Tinton Falls homes already on electric heat and 84% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
Tinton Falls has 9,124 housing units, 2% built before 1940 and 24% before 1980, with 26% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3473020, checked 2026-10-19).

That 10F figure is the Monmouth County cold-day number a Tinton Falls 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 80% of Tinton Falls on gas and 16% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Tinton Falls home has 5.6 rooms and was built around 1991, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
