Cold-day number

Heating design temperature: 15F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Sumner 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 15F figure is the Sumner County cold-day number a White House heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 15F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.

Next step

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median White House home has 5.9 rooms and was built around 2003, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
