Omaha / Gretna
Gretna has 9,193 residents (give or take 34) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3120260, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,323 people per square mile.
Gretna is about 12 miles from the Census center point for Omaha in a straight line and covers 6.951 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).
Of the 3,237 occupied homes in Gretna, 77% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 20% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3120260, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 77% of Gretna against electricity at 20%, 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.
Gretna has about the Sarpy County oil share of 0% and 5 points less electric heat than the county's 25% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US31153, checked 2026-10-19).
Gretna has 3,317 housing units, 1% built before 1940 and 22% before 1980, with 57% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3120260, checked 2026-10-19).
Gretna has 12 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 45% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US31153, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Gretna home was built in 2002 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3120260, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.9 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3120260, checked 2026-10-19).
79% of Gretna homes are single-family detached, 1% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 15% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3120260, checked 2026-10-19).
With 79% detached houses and 1% in small multi-family buildings, a Gretna quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 25% of Gretna homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3120260, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Gretna has 6 points more detached houses than Sarpy County overall (73%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US31153, checked 2026-10-19).
57% of Gretna housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3120260, checked 2026-10-19), and homes that recent usually meet the insulation codes in place at the time, so a heat pump sized to the floor plan lands closer to the real load than it would in an older neighborhood.
No electric utility is on file for Gretna 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 Gretna is $123,992 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3120260, 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: -3F.

That -3F figure is the Sarpy County cold-day number a Gretna heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at -3F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 77% of Gretna on gas and 20% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Gretna home has 6.9 rooms and was built around 2002, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
