Fuel mix

Of the 9,154 occupied homes in Farragut, 67% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 32% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4725760, checked 2026-10-19).

Gas heats 67% of Farragut against electricity at 32%, 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.

Farragut has about the Knox County oil share of 0% and 34 points less electric heat than the county's 66% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US47093, checked 2026-10-19).

88% of Farragut homes are single-family detached, 2% 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=160XX00US4725760, checked 2026-10-19).

With 88% detached houses and 2% in small multi-family buildings, a Farragut quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 15% of Farragut homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4725760, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.

Rebate path

No electric utility is on file for Farragut on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.

Cold-day number

Heating design temperature: 20F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Knox County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 111 to 115 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 20F figure is the Knox County cold-day number a Farragut heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 20F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.

Next step

Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 67% of Farragut on gas and 32% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Farragut home has 8 rooms and was built around 1992, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
