Newark / West New York
West New York has 52,004 residents (give or take 42) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3479610, checked 2026-10-19), about 52,371 people per square mile.
West New York is about 10 miles from the Census center point for Newark in a straight line and covers 0.993 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 West New York that is 07093 (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 West New York is $71,729 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3479610, 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.
At 52,371 people per square mile, West New York is dense enough that noise setback rules and outdoor-unit placement on a small lot are the first questions the installer works through.
5% of West New York homes are single-family detached, 24% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 65% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3479610, checked 2026-10-19).
With 65% of West New York homes in buildings of five or more units and 5% detached, the condo association usually decides where outdoor units can go, so that approval comes before the quote. With 77% of West New York homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3479610, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
West New York has 12 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 53% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US34017, checked 2026-10-19).
With 77% of West New York homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3479610, checked 2026-10-19), most heat pump quotes here are landlord-driven: the landlord signs the contract and picks the equipment, and the tenant sees the lower bill.
Of the 20,453 occupied homes in West New York, 64% heat with natural gas, 2% with heating oil, 27% with electricity and 3% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3479610, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 64% of West New York against electricity at 27%, 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.
West New York has about the Hudson County oil share of 3% and 1 points less electric heat than the county's 28% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US34017, checked 2026-10-19).

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 West New York address before counting it. With 27% of West New York homes already on electric heat and 69% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
West New York has 21,736 housing units, 23% built before 1940 and 64% before 1980, with 21% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3479610, checked 2026-10-19).
West New York has 7 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Hudson County as a whole (30%) and 3 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=050XX00US34017, checked 2026-10-19).
The median West New York home was built in 1966 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3479610, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 3.7 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3479610, checked 2026-10-19).
64% of West New York homes were built before 1980 and only 21% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3479610, checked 2026-10-19), so most of the stock predates modern insulation codes; the installer's heat-loss calculation, not a square-footage rule, decides the tonnage.
Heating design temperature: 9F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Hudson 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 9F figure is the Hudson County cold-day number a West New York heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 9F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 64% of West New York on gas and 27% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median West New York home has 3.7 rooms and was built around 1966, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
