Portland / Turner
Turner has 5,891 residents (give or take 15) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=060XX00US2300177800, checked 2026-10-19), about 99 people per square mile.
Turner is about 44 miles from the Census center point for Portland in a straight line and covers 59.259 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 Turner that is 04282 (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).
Turner is spread out at 99 people per square mile across 59.259 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 2,288 occupied homes in Turner, 3% heat with natural gas, 59% with heating oil, 9% with electricity and 14% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=060XX00US2300177800, checked 2026-10-19).
Heating oil is the largest single fuel in Turner at 59%, ahead of propane at 14%, 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.
Turner has about the Androscoggin County oil share of 59% and the same 9% electric share (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US23001, checked 2026-10-19).
Turner has 2,424 housing units, 16% built before 1940 and 50% before 1980, with 17% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=060XX00US2300177800, checked 2026-10-19).
Turner has 10 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Androscoggin County as a whole (26%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US23001, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Turner home was built in 1980 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=060XX00US2300177800, 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=060XX00US2300177800, checked 2026-10-19).
81% of Turner homes are single-family detached, 1% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 3% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=060XX00US2300177800, checked 2026-10-19).
With 81% detached houses and 1% in small multi-family buildings, a Turner quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 10% of Turner homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US2300177800, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Turner has 23 points more detached houses than Androscoggin County overall (58%) and 12 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 15% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US23001, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 10% of Turner homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US2300177800, 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 Turner 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 Turner address before counting it. With 9% of Turner homes already on electric heat and 76% 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 Turner is $100,036 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=060XX00US2300177800, 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: -4F.

That -4F figure is the Androscoggin County cold-day number a Turner heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at -4F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask what happens to the oil tank, since 59% of the 2,288 occupied Turner homes have one and removal is usually a separate line on the quote.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Turner home has 5.8 rooms and was built around 1980, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
