Of the 14,814 occupied homes in Cookeville, 28% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 70% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4716920, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 70% of Cookeville homes, ahead of gas at 28%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.

That 14F figure is the Putnam County cold-day number a Cookeville heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 14F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Cookeville home has 5 rooms and was built around 1991, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
