Omaha / West Point
West Point has 3,471 residents (give or take 21) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3152575, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,207 people per square mile.
West Point is about 52 miles from the Census center point for Omaha in a straight line and covers 2.875 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 1,450 occupied homes in West Point, 70% heat with natural gas, 2% with heating oil, 23% with electricity and 3% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3152575, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 70% of West Point against electricity at 23%, 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.
West Point has about the Cuming County oil share of 3% and 6 points less electric heat than the county's 29% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US31039, checked 2026-10-19).
West Point has 1,632 housing units, 31% built before 1940 and 75% before 1980, with 13% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3152575, checked 2026-10-19).
West Point has 3 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 10% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US31039, checked 2026-10-19).
The median West Point home was built in 1959 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3152575, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.7 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3152575, checked 2026-10-19).
80% of West Point homes are single-family detached, 5% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 11% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3152575, checked 2026-10-19).
With 80% detached houses and 5% in small multi-family buildings, a West Point quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 24% of West Point homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3152575, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
West Point has 5 points fewer detached houses than Cuming County overall (85%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US31039, checked 2026-10-19).
31% of West Point homes were built before 1940 and 75% before 1980 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3152575, checked 2026-10-19), so insulation is the first sizing question: an older home leaks more heat per square foot, and the installer runs a room-by-room heat-loss calculation to size the system for what the walls and windows actually hold in, not just the floor plan.
No electric utility is on file for West Point 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 West Point is $65,793 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3152575, 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: -4F.

That -4F figure is the Cuming County cold-day number a West Point heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at -4F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 70% of West Point on gas and 23% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; a West Point house from before 1940 (31% of the 1,632 units) rarely matches a square-footage rule of thumb.
