Of the 6,583 occupied homes in Dickson, 49% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 48% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4720620, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 49% of Dickson against electricity at 48%, so most quotes here are a partial-home system that carries the shoulder seasons and the summer while the gas boiler stays for the deepest cold, or a whole-home system when the house is ready for it.
Dickson has about the Dickson County oil share of 0% and the same 48% electric share (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US47043, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Dickson home was built in 1980 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4720620, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.4 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4720620, checked 2026-10-19).
74% of Dickson homes are single-family detached, 7% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 15% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4720620, checked 2026-10-19).
With 74% detached houses and 7% in small multi-family buildings, a Dickson quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 38% of Dickson homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4720620, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.

Heating design temperature: 12F.

That 12F figure is the Dickson County cold-day number a Dickson heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 12F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 49% of Dickson on gas and 48% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Dickson home has 5.4 rooms and was built around 1980, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
