Chicago / Glencoe
Glencoe is about 21 miles from the Census center point for Chicago in a straight line and covers 3.718 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).
Glencoe has 8,701 residents (give or take 21) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US1729652, checked 2026-10-19), about 2,340 people per square mile.
The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Glencoe that is 60022 (Census 2020 ZCTA to county subdivision and ZCTA to place relationship files, ZIP areas at least 20% inside the town, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_cousub20_natl.txt and https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_place20_natl.txt, checked 2026-10-19).
Of the 2,977 occupied homes in Glencoe, 92% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 6% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1729652, checked 2026-10-19).
Glencoe has about the Cook County oil share of 0% and 10 points less electric heat than the county's 16% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US17031, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 92% of Glencoe against electricity at 6%, 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 Glencoe home was built in 1955 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1729652, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 10 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US1729652, checked 2026-10-19).
Glencoe has 3,320 housing units, 35% built before 1940 and 69% before 1980, with 17% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1729652, checked 2026-10-19).
Glencoe has 7 points more pre-1940 homes than Cook County as a whole (28%) and 4 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 13% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US17031, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
35% of Glencoe homes were built before 1940 and 69% before 1980 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1729652, 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.
91% of Glencoe homes are single-family detached, 1% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 5% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US1729652, checked 2026-10-19).
With 91% detached houses and 1% in small multi-family buildings, a Glencoe quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 8% of Glencoe homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1729652, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Glencoe has 51 points more detached houses than Cook County overall (40%) and 30 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 35% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US17031, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 8% of Glencoe homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1729652, 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 Glencoe on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Ameren Illinois Instant Incentives (ducted ASHP), run by Ameren Illinois, is a live program for Illinois addresses and lists a standard figure of $900 (registry row 45 verified 2026-10-15, https://amerenillinoissavings.com/residential/ducted-air-source-heat-pump/, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Glencoe address before counting it. With 6% of Glencoe homes already on electric heat and 94% 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 Glencoe is $248,933 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1729652, 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. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Cook County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 29 to 33 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 -3F figure is the Cook County cold-day number a Glencoe 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 92% of Glencoe on gas and 6% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; a Glencoe house from before 1940 (35% of the 3,320 units) rarely matches a square-footage rule of thumb.
