Hempstead / New Hyde Park
New Hyde Park is about 4 miles from the Census center point for Hempstead in a straight line and covers 0.848 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).
New Hyde Park has 10,220 residents (give or take 29) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3650397, checked 2026-10-19), about 12,052 people per square mile.
At 12,052 people per square mile, New Hyde Park is dense enough that noise setback rules and outdoor-unit placement on a small lot are the first questions the installer works through.
Of the 3,534 occupied homes in New Hyde Park, 82% heat with natural gas, 13% with heating oil, 3% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3650397, checked 2026-10-19).
New Hyde Park has 13 points less oil heat than Nassau County as a whole, where 26% of homes burn oil, and 4 points less electric heat than the county's 7% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US36059, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 82% of New Hyde Park against oil at 13%, so most quotes here are a partial-home system that carries the shoulder seasons and the summer while the gas furnace handles the coldest nights, or a whole-home system when the house is ready for it.
The median New Hyde Park home was built in 1951 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3650397, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.3 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3650397, checked 2026-10-19).
New Hyde Park has 3,678 housing units, 27% built before 1940 and 94% before 1980, with 4% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3650397, checked 2026-10-19).
New Hyde Park has 8 points more pre-1940 homes than Nassau County as a whole (19%) and 3 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 7% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US36059, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
94% of New Hyde Park homes were built before 1980 and only 4% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3650397, checked 2026-10-19), so most of the stock predates modern insulation codes; the installer's heat-loss calculation, not a square-footage rule, decides the tonnage.
86% of New Hyde Park homes are single-family detached, 8% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 1% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3650397, checked 2026-10-19).
With 86% detached houses and 8% in small multi-family buildings, a New Hyde Park quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 13% of New Hyde Park homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3650397, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
New Hyde Park has 10 points more detached houses than Nassau County overall (76%) and 12 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 13% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US36059, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 13% of New Hyde Park homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3650397, 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.
No electric utility is on file for New Hyde Park on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
NYS Clean Heat (Con Edison), run by Con Edison, is a live program for New York addresses and lists a standard figure of $7,000 (registry row 5 verified 2026-10-16, https://www.coned.com/en/save-money/rebates-incentives-tax-credits/rebates-incentives-tax-credits-for-residential-customers/electric-heating-and-cooling-technology-for-renters-homeowners/save-on-a-central-air-source-heat-pump, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the New Hyde Park address before counting it. With 3% of New Hyde Park homes already on electric heat and 96% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
Median household income in New Hyde Park is $142,927 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3650397, 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: 9F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Nassau County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 84 to 86 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 Nassau County cold-day number a New Hyde Park 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 whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 82% of New Hyde Park on gas and 3% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median New Hyde Park home has 6.3 rooms and was built around 1951, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
