Of the 9,444 occupied homes in Mequon, 82% heat with natural gas, 1% with heating oil, 13% with electricity and 3% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US5551150, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 82% of Mequon 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.
Mequon has about the Ozaukee County oil share of 2% and 4 points less electric heat than the county's 17% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US55089, checked 2026-10-19).
Mequon has 10,078 housing units, 5% built before 1940 and 45% before 1980, with 23% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US5551150, checked 2026-10-19).
Mequon has 6 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Ozaukee County as a whole (11%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US55089, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Mequon home was built in 1984 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US5551150, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 7.3 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US5551150, checked 2026-10-19).
72% of Mequon homes are single-family detached, 3% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 11% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US5551150, checked 2026-10-19).
With 72% detached houses and 3% in small multi-family buildings, a Mequon quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 14% of Mequon homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US5551150, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Mequon has 6 points more detached houses than Ozaukee County overall (66%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US55089, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 14% of Mequon homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US5551150, 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 Mequon on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Focus on Energy air source heat pump instant discount (ratepayer), run by Focus on Energy, is a live program for Wisconsin addresses and covers qualifying equipment at $900 per system (registry row 20 verified 2026-10-07, https://assets.focusonenergy.com/production/docs/trade-ally/TAS-Trade-Ally-Solutions-Rebates-Overview-20260101_CLEAN.pdf, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Mequon address before counting it. With 13% of Mequon 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.
Median household income in Mequon is $144,051 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US5551150, 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.

That 0F figure is the Ozaukee County cold-day number a Mequon heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 0F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 82% of Mequon 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 Mequon home has 7.3 rooms and was built around 1984, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
