Detroit / Livonia
Livonia is about 14 miles from the Census center point for Detroit in a straight line and covers 35.695 square miles of land (Census 2024 Gazetteer internal points and land area, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/gazetteer/2024_Gazetteer/, checked 2026-10-19).
Livonia has 93,851 residents (give or take 87) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US2649000, checked 2026-10-19), about 2,629 people per square mile.
The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Livonia that is 48150, 48152, 48154 (Census 2020 ZCTA to county subdivision and ZCTA to place relationship files, ZIP areas at least 20% inside the town, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_cousub20_natl.txt and https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_place20_natl.txt, checked 2026-10-19).
Of the 38,348 occupied homes in Livonia, 90% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 9% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US2649000, checked 2026-10-19).
Livonia has about the Wayne County oil share of 0% and 5 points less electric heat than the county's 14% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US26163, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 90% of Livonia against electricity at 9%, so most quotes here are a partial-home system that carries the shoulder seasons and the summer while the gas furnace handles the coldest nights, or a whole-home system when the house is ready for it.
The median Livonia home was built in 1964 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US2649000, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.2 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US2649000, checked 2026-10-19).
Livonia has 39,665 housing units, 4% built before 1940 and 78% before 1980, with 6% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2649000, checked 2026-10-19).
Livonia has 17 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Wayne County as a whole (21%) and 3 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 9% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US26163, checked 2026-10-19).
78% of Livonia homes were built before 1980 and only 6% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2649000, checked 2026-10-19), so most of the stock predates modern insulation codes; the installer's heat-loss calculation, not a square-footage rule, decides the tonnage.
86% of Livonia homes are single-family detached, 1% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 8% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US2649000, checked 2026-10-19).
With 86% detached houses and 1% in small multi-family buildings, a Livonia quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 13% of Livonia homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2649000, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Livonia has 16 points more detached houses than Wayne County overall (70%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US26163, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 13% of Livonia homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2649000, checked 2026-10-19), so nearly every quote here is the resident talking to the installer directly, and the rebate goes to the person living in the house.
No electric utility is on file for Livonia on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
DTE Energy heating and cooling rebates (southeast Michigan only), run by DTE Energy, is a live program for Michigan addresses and covers qualifying equipment at $1,500 per system (registry row 19 verified 2026-10-15, https://www.dteenergy.com/us/en/residential/save-money-energy/rebates-and-offers/air-conditioners.html, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Livonia address before counting it. With 9% of Livonia homes already on electric heat and 91% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
Consumers Energy Home Solutions 2026 (ASHP), run by Consumers Energy, is a live program for Michigan addresses and lists a standard figure of $300 (registry row 50 verified 2026-10-15, https://www.consumersenergy.com/residential/savings-and-clean-energy/rebates/heating-and-cooling, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Livonia address before counting it.
Median household income in Livonia is $98,460 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US2649000, checked 2026-10-19); many state and utility heat pump rebate programs set higher incentive tiers for income-qualifying households, so the household income on the application, not the town median, decides which level applies.
Heating design temperature: 4F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Wayne County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 56 to 60 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 4F figure is the Wayne County cold-day number a Livonia heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 4F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 90% of Livonia on gas and 9% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Livonia home has 6.2 rooms and was built around 1964, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
