With 36% of Tullahoma homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4775320, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.

Rebate path

No electric utility is on file for Tullahoma 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: 13F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Coffee 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 13F figure is the Coffee County cold-day number a Tullahoma 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.

Next step

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Tullahoma home has 5.8 rooms and was built around 1977, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
