Portland / Lyman
Lyman has 4,612 residents (give or take 16) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=060XX00US2303141750, checked 2026-10-19), about 118 people per square mile.
Lyman is about 25 miles from the Census center point for Portland in a straight line and covers 39.001 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 Lyman that is 04002 (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).
Lyman is spread out at 118 people per square mile across 39.001 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 1,861 occupied homes in Lyman, 1% heat with natural gas, 65% with heating oil, 4% with electricity and 20% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=060XX00US2303141750, checked 2026-10-19).
Heating oil is the largest single fuel in Lyman at 65%, ahead of propane at 20%, so the usual job here is an oil boiler or furnace coming out and a cold-climate heat pump going in, with the oil tank removed.
Lyman has 5 points more oil heat than York County as a whole, where 60% of homes burn oil, and 6 points less electric heat than the county's 10% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US23031, checked 2026-10-19).
Lyman has 2,268 housing units, 8% built before 1940 and 54% before 1980, with 23% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=060XX00US2303141750, checked 2026-10-19).
Lyman has 12 points fewer pre-1940 homes than York County as a whole (20%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US23031, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Lyman home was built in 1979 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=060XX00US2303141750, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.8 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=060XX00US2303141750, checked 2026-10-19).
85% of Lyman homes are single-family detached, 2% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 0% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=060XX00US2303141750, checked 2026-10-19).
With 85% detached houses and 2% in small multi-family buildings, a Lyman quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 5% of Lyman homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US2303141750, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Lyman has 15 points more detached houses than York County overall (70%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US23031, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 5% of Lyman homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US2303141750, 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 Lyman on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Efficiency Maine whole-home heat pump rebate, run by Efficiency Maine, is a live program for Maine addresses and lists a standard figure of $3,000 (registry row 7 verified 2026-10-15, https://www.efficiencymaine.com/whole-home-heat-pump-rebates/, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Lyman address before counting it. With 4% of Lyman 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 Lyman is $87,284 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=060XX00US2303141750, 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.

That 0F figure is the York County cold-day number a Lyman heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 0F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask what happens to the oil tank, since 65% of the 1,861 occupied Lyman homes have one and removal is usually a separate line on the quote.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Lyman home has 5.8 rooms and was built around 1979, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
