Electricity already heats 75% of Murfreesboro homes, ahead of gas at 24%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Murfreesboro has about the Rutherford County oil share of 0% and 2 points more electric heat than the county's 73% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US47149, checked 2026-10-19).

That 13F figure is the Rutherford County cold-day number a Murfreesboro heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 13F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Murfreesboro home has 5.4 rooms and was built around 2002, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
