Charleston / Hollywood
Hollywood is about 14 miles from the Census center point for Charleston in a straight line and covers 23.509 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).
Hollywood has 5,382 residents (give or take 17) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US4534495, checked 2026-10-19), about 229 people per square mile.
The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Hollywood that is 29449 (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).
Hollywood is spread out at 229 people per square mile across 23.509 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 2,309 occupied homes in Hollywood, 5% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 80% with electricity and 13% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4534495, checked 2026-10-19).
Hollywood has about the Charleston County oil share of 0% and 4 points more electric heat than the county's 76% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US45019, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 80% of Hollywood homes, ahead of propane at 13%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
The median Hollywood home was built in 2003 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4534495, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.5 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4534495, checked 2026-10-19).
Hollywood has 2,589 housing units, 3% built before 1940 and 18% before 1980, with 58% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4534495, checked 2026-10-19).
Hollywood has 19 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 39% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US45019, checked 2026-10-19).
58% of Hollywood housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4534495, 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.
80% of Hollywood homes are single-family detached, 1% 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=160XX00US4534495, checked 2026-10-19).
With 80% detached houses and 1% in small multi-family buildings, a Hollywood quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 11% of Hollywood homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4534495, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Hollywood has 22 points more detached houses than Charleston County overall (58%) and 23 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 23% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US45019, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 11% of Hollywood homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4534495, 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 Hollywood 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 Hollywood is $73,693 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4534495, 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: 28F.

That 28F figure is the Charleston County cold-day number a Hollywood heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 28F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Hollywood home has 6.5 rooms and was built around 2003, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
