Boston / Revere
Revere has 60,012 residents (give or take 53) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=060XX00US2502556585, checked 2026-10-19), about 10,521 people per square mile.
Revere is about 6 miles from the Census center point for Boston in a straight line and covers 5.704 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 Revere that is 02151 (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).
Median household income in Revere is $86,969 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=060XX00US2502556585, 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.
At 10,521 people per square mile, Revere is dense enough that noise setback rules and outdoor-unit placement on a small lot are the first questions the installer works through.
25% of Revere homes are single-family detached, 35% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 31% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=060XX00US2502556585, checked 2026-10-19).
A two- or three-family building is the common Revere case at 35% of the stock against 25% detached houses, and each unit usually gets its own small outdoor unit and its own rebate account rather than one big system for the building. With 54% of Revere homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US2502556585, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Revere has 12 points more detached houses than Suffolk County overall (13%) and 14 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 45% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US25025, checked 2026-10-19).
54% of Revere homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US2502556585, checked 2026-10-19), so the market splits between resident-led jobs where the occupant picks the system and landlord-led jobs where they do not, and the rebate paperwork differs.
Of the 22,178 occupied homes in Revere, 58% heat with natural gas, 12% with heating oil, 25% with electricity and 3% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=060XX00US2502556585, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas leads in Revere at 58%, but 15% of homes still burn delivered oil or propane, and those 3,327 or so homes are where a heat pump pays back fastest.
Revere has 5 points more oil heat than Suffolk County as a whole, where 7% of homes burn oil, and 6 points less electric heat than the county's 31% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US25025, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Revere on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
If the Revere 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).
Revere has 24,139 housing units, 26% built before 1940 and 65% before 1980, with 18% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=060XX00US2502556585, checked 2026-10-19).
Revere has 20 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Suffolk County as a whole (46%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US25025, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Revere home was built in 1965 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=060XX00US2502556585, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 4.5 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=060XX00US2502556585, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 18% of Revere homes are new enough to pass the whole-home rebate's weatherization check on age, and 26% date from before 1940, so most of the other 82% show it with a home energy assessment before the heat pump goes in.

That 1F figure is the Suffolk County cold-day number a Revere heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 1F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 58% of Revere on gas and 25% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Revere home has 4.5 rooms and was built around 1965, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
