Boston / Attleboro
Attleboro has 46,762 residents (give or take 55) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=060XX00US2500502690, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,746 people per square mile.
Attleboro is about 31 miles from the Census center point for Boston in a straight line and covers 26.78 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 Attleboro that is 02703 (Census 2020 ZCTA to county subdivision relationship file, ZIP areas at least 20% inside the town, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_cousub20_natl.txt, checked 2026-10-19).
Of the 17,933 occupied homes in Attleboro, 35% heat with natural gas, 37% with heating oil, 20% with electricity and 5% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=060XX00US2500502690, checked 2026-10-19).
Heating oil is the largest single fuel in Attleboro at 37%, ahead of gas at 35%, 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.
Attleboro has 14 points more oil heat than Bristol County as a whole, where 23% of homes burn oil, and 7 points more electric heat than the county's 13% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US25005, checked 2026-10-19).
Attleboro has 19,121 housing units, 24% built before 1940 and 61% before 1980, with 15% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=060XX00US2500502690, checked 2026-10-19).
Attleboro has 8 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Bristol County as a whole (32%) and 3 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 12% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US25005, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Attleboro home was built in 1972 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=060XX00US2500502690, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.5 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=060XX00US2500502690, checked 2026-10-19).
54% of Attleboro homes are single-family detached, 20% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 15% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=060XX00US2500502690, checked 2026-10-19).
34% of Attleboro homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US2500502690, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 54% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Only 15% of Attleboro homes are new enough to pass the whole-home rebate's weatherization check on age, and 24% date from before 1940, so most of the other 85% show it with a home energy assessment before the heat pump goes in.
No electric utility is on file for Attleboro on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
If the Attleboro electric bill comes from one of the Mass Save sponsors (Cape Light Compact, Eversource, National Grid, Unitil), the whole-home heat pump rebate is $2,650 per ton up to $8,500, and the partial-home rebate is $1,125 per ton up to $8,500; for projects installed on or after January 1, 2027, the whole-home figure drops to $2,350 per ton capped at $7,500 (Mass Save air-source heat pump rebates, https://www.masssave.com/residential/rebates-offers-services/heating-and-cooling/heat-pumps/air-source-heat-pumps, checked 2026-10-19).
Median household income in Attleboro is $98,954 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=060XX00US2500502690, checked 2026-10-19); Mass Save's enhanced heat pump incentives are income-based and decided household by household, so the town median only hints at how many neighbors qualify.
Heating design temperature: 9F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Bristol County row, 99% heating, PDF page 56 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 Bristol County cold-day number a Attleboro 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 what happens to the oil tank, since 37% of the 17,933 occupied Attleboro homes have one and removal is usually a separate line on the quote.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Attleboro home has 5.5 rooms and was built around 1972, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
