Yorba Linda has 67,170 residents (give or take 53) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US0686832, checked 2026-10-19), about 3,366 people per square mile.

Yorba Linda is about 38 miles from the Census center point for Los Angeles in a straight line and covers 19.953 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 Yorba Linda that is 92886, 92887 (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).

3,366 people per square mile puts Yorba Linda in suburban density, where the outdoor unit usually sits in a side yard and the noise is not an issue for neighbors.

Fuel mix

Of the 22,916 occupied homes in Yorba Linda, 81% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 15% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US0686832, checked 2026-10-19).

Gas heats 81% of Yorba Linda against electricity at 15%, and a cold-climate heat pump sized for this market replaces the gas system outright, so the usual quote is a whole-home install.

Yorba Linda has about the Orange County oil share of 0% and 12 points less electric heat than the county's 27% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US06059, checked 2026-10-19).

Housing stock

Yorba Linda has 23,887 housing units, 1% built before 1940 and 39% before 1980, with 20% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0686832, checked 2026-10-19).

Yorba Linda tracks Orange County on housing age, with the county at 2% pre-1940 and 18% post-2000 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US06059, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Yorba Linda home was built in 1984 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US0686832, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.5 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US0686832, checked 2026-10-19).

75% of Yorba Linda homes are single-family detached, 4% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 6% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US0686832, checked 2026-10-19).

With 75% detached houses and 4% in small multi-family buildings, a Yorba Linda quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 17% of Yorba Linda homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0686832, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.

Yorba Linda has 26 points more detached houses than Orange County overall (49%) and 20 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 26% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US06059, checked 2026-10-19).

Rebate path

No electric utility is on file for Yorba Linda on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.

LADWP Consumer Rebate Program heat pump HVAC, run by LADWP, is a live program for California addresses and publishes its terms without one headline figure (registry row 24 verified 2026-10-14, https://www.ladwp.com/residential-services/assistance-programs/consumer-rebate-program, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Yorba Linda address before counting it. With 15% of Yorba Linda homes already on electric heat and 82% 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 Yorba Linda is $157,582 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US0686832, 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.

Cold-day number

Heating design temperature: 29F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Orange County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 11 to 13 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 29F figure is the Orange County cold-day number a Yorba Linda heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 29F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.

Next step

Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 81% of Yorba Linda on gas and 15% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Yorba Linda home has 6.5 rooms and was built around 1984, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
