That -9F figure is the Dakota County cold-day number a Inver Grove Heights heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at -9F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 82% of Inver Grove Heights on gas and 16% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Inver Grove Heights home has 6.2 rooms and was built around 1990, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
