No electric utility is on file for Dunn Loring 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 Dunn Loring is $244,265 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US5123984, 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: 14F.

That 14F figure is the Fairfax County cold-day number a Dunn Loring heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 14F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 69% of Dunn Loring on gas and 26% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Dunn Loring home has 10 rooms and was built around 1979, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
