The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Orland Park that is 60462, 60467 (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).

What heats Orland Park

Of the 23,256 occupied homes in Orland Park, 89% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 9% with electricity and 0% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1756640, checked 2026-10-19).

Orland Park has about the Cook County oil share of 0% and 7 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 89% of Orland Park against electricity at 9%, 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.

Age of the housing

The median Orland Park home was built in 1989 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1756640, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.5 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US1756640, checked 2026-10-19).

Orland Park has 24,376 housing units, 2% built before 1940 and 30% before 1980, with 24% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1756640, checked 2026-10-19).

Orland Park has 26 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Cook County as a whole (28%) and 11 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).

House type

57% of Orland Park homes are single-family detached, 6% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 16% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US1756640, checked 2026-10-19).

14% of Orland Park homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1756640, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 57% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.

Orland Park has 17 points more detached houses than Cook County overall (40%) and 19 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 14% of Orland Park homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1756640, 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.

Utility and rebate

No electric utility is on file for Orland Park 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 Orland Park address before counting it. With 9% of Orland Park homes already on electric heat and 89% 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 Orland Park is $98,910 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1756640, 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.

Design temperature

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 Orland Park 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.

Next step

Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 89% of Orland Park on gas and 9% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Orland Park home has 6.5 rooms and was built around 1989, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
