Detroit / Wixom
Wixom has 17,295 residents (give or take 40) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US2688140, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,893 people per square mile.
Wixom is about 24 miles from the Census center point for Detroit in a straight line and covers 9.138 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).
The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Wixom that is 48393 (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).
Median household income in Wixom is $65,485 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US2688140, 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.
35% of Wixom homes are single-family detached, 5% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 53% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US2688140, checked 2026-10-19).
With 53% of Wixom homes in buildings of five or more units and 35% detached, the condo association usually decides where outdoor units can go, so that approval comes before the quote. With 58% of Wixom homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2688140, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Wixom has 33 points fewer detached houses than Oakland County overall (68%) and 35 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 18% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US26125, checked 2026-10-19).
58% of Wixom homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2688140, checked 2026-10-19), so the market splits between resident-led jobs where the occupant picks the system and landlord-led jobs where they do not, and the rebate paperwork differs.
Of the 8,720 occupied homes in Wixom, 84% heat with natural gas, 1% with heating oil, 13% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US2688140, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 84% of Wixom against electricity at 13%, 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.
Wixom has about the Oakland County oil share of 0% and 2 points more electric heat than the county's 11% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US26125, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Wixom 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 Wixom address before counting it. With 13% of Wixom homes already on electric heat and 86% 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 Wixom address before counting it.
Wixom has 8,849 housing units, 2% built before 1940 and 45% before 1980, with 18% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2688140, checked 2026-10-19).
Wixom has 5 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Oakland County as a whole (7%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US26125, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Wixom home was built in 1983 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US2688140, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 4.3 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US2688140, checked 2026-10-19).

That 4F figure is the Oakland County cold-day number a Wixom 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 84% of Wixom on gas and 13% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Wixom home has 4.3 rooms and was built around 1983, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
