Omaha / Schuyler
Schuyler has 6,578 residents (give or take 17) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3144035, checked 2026-10-19), about 2,405 people per square mile.
Schuyler is about 54 miles from the Census center point for Omaha in a straight line and covers 2.735 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 2,091 occupied homes in Schuyler, 61% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 39% with electricity and 0% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3144035, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 61% of Schuyler against electricity at 39%, 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.
Schuyler has 3 points less oil heat than Colfax County as a whole, where 3% of homes burn oil, and 1 points less electric heat than the county's 40% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US31037, checked 2026-10-19).
Schuyler has 2,100 housing units, 13% built before 1940 and 65% before 1980, with 9% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3144035, checked 2026-10-19).
Schuyler has 12 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Colfax County as a whole (25%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US31037, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Schuyler home was built in 1974 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3144035, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.5 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3144035, checked 2026-10-19).
74% of Schuyler homes are single-family detached, 6% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 3% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3144035, checked 2026-10-19).
With 74% detached houses and 6% in small multi-family buildings, a Schuyler quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 29% of Schuyler homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3144035, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Schuyler has 8 points fewer detached houses than Colfax County overall (82%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US31037, checked 2026-10-19).
65% of Schuyler homes were built before 1980 and only 9% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3144035, 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.
No electric utility is on file for Schuyler 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 Schuyler is $80,399 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3144035, 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: -2F.

That -2F figure is the Colfax County cold-day number a Schuyler heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at -2F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 61% of Schuyler on gas and 39% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Schuyler home has 5.5 rooms and was built around 1974, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
