San Francisco / Morgan Hill
Morgan Hill has 45,425 residents (give or take 53) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US0649278, checked 2026-10-19), about 3,511 people per square mile.
Morgan Hill is about 87 miles from the Census center point for San Francisco in a straight line and covers 12.938 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).
3,511 people per square mile puts Morgan Hill in suburban density, where the outdoor unit usually sits in a side yard and the noise is not an issue for neighbors.
Of the 14,865 occupied homes in Morgan Hill, 61% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 31% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US0649278, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 61% of Morgan Hill against electricity at 31%, and a cold-climate heat pump sized for this market replaces the gas system outright, so the usual quote is a whole-home install.
Morgan Hill has about the Santa Clara County oil share of 0% and 5 points less electric heat than the county's 36% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US06085, checked 2026-10-19).
Morgan Hill has 15,543 housing units, 1% built before 1940 and 34% before 1980, with 33% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0649278, checked 2026-10-19).
Morgan Hill has 4 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Santa Clara County as a whole (5%) and 13 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 20% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US06085, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Morgan Hill home was built in 1990 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US0649278, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.9 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US0649278, checked 2026-10-19).
59% of Morgan Hill homes are single-family detached, 4% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 13% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US0649278, checked 2026-10-19).
29% of Morgan Hill homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0649278, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 59% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Morgan Hill has 8 points more detached houses than Santa Clara County overall (51%) and 16 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 29% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US06085, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Morgan Hill 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 Morgan Hill is $163,920 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US0649278, 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: 27F.

That 27F figure is the Santa Clara County cold-day number a Morgan Hill heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 27F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 61% of Morgan Hill on gas and 31% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Morgan Hill home has 5.9 rooms and was built around 1990, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
