Of the 16,285 occupied homes in Greer, 48% heat with natural gas, 1% with heating oil, 50% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4530985, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 50% of Greer homes, ahead of gas at 48%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Greer has about the Greenville County oil share of 1% and 7 points less electric heat than the county's 57% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US45045, checked 2026-10-19).
Greer has 17,551 housing units, 4% built before 1940 and 25% before 1980, with 58% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4530985, checked 2026-10-19).
Greer has 20 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 38% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US45045, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Greer home was built in 2003 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4530985, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.7 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4530985, checked 2026-10-19).
71% of Greer homes are single-family detached, 4% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 11% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4530985, checked 2026-10-19).
With 71% detached houses and 4% in small multi-family buildings, a Greer quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 27% of Greer homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4530985, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
58% of Greer housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4530985, checked 2026-10-19), and homes that recent usually meet the insulation codes in place at the time, so a heat pump sized to the floor plan lands closer to the real load than it would in an older neighborhood.
No electric utility is on file for Greer on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Median household income in Greer is $82,626 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4530985, 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: 19F.

That 19F figure is the Greenville County cold-day number a Greer heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 19F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Greer home has 5.7 rooms and was built around 2003, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
