Weston has 11,579 residents (give or take 21) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=060XX00US2501777255, checked 2026-10-19), about 688 people per square mile.
The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Weston that is 02493 (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 3,776 occupied homes in Weston, 68% heat with natural gas, 20% with heating oil, 10% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=060XX00US2501777255, checked 2026-10-19).
Weston has about the Middlesex County oil share of 18% and 8 points less electric heat than the county's 18% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US25017, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas leads in Weston at 68%, but 21% of homes still burn delivered oil or propane, and those 793 or so homes are where a heat pump pays back fastest.
The median Weston home was built in 1964 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=060XX00US2501777255, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 10 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=060XX00US2501777255, checked 2026-10-19).
Weston has 3,969 housing units, 23% 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=060XX00US2501777255, checked 2026-10-19).
Weston has 9 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Middlesex County as a whole (32%) and 3 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 15% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US25017, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 18% of Weston homes are new enough to pass the whole-home rebate's weatherization check on age, and 23% date from before 1940, so most of the other 82% show it with a home energy assessment before the heat pump goes in.
88% of Weston homes are single-family detached, 3% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 7% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=060XX00US2501777255, checked 2026-10-19).
With 88% detached houses and 3% in small multi-family buildings, a Weston quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 13% of Weston homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US2501777255, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Weston has 42 points more detached houses than Middlesex County overall (46%) and 18 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 25% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US25017, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 13% of Weston homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US2501777255, 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.
Eversource Energy lists Weston among the Massachusetts communities it serves for electricity (Eversource Energy communities we serve, https://www.eversource.com/residential/services/communities-we-serve, checked 2026-10-19).
For a Weston address billed by Eversource Energy, the Mass Save 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 Weston is $250,001 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=060XX00US2501777255, 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: 1F.

That 1F figure is the Middlesex County cold-day number a Weston 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 68% of Weston on gas and 10% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Weston home has 10 rooms and was built around 1964, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
