Minneapolis / Monticello
Monticello has 14,858 residents (give or take 41) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US2743774, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,625 people per square mile.
Monticello is about 34 miles from the Census center point for Minneapolis in a straight line and covers 9.146 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).
Of the 5,695 occupied homes in Monticello, 78% heat with natural gas, 1% with heating oil, 18% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US2743774, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 78% of Monticello against electricity at 18%, 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.
Monticello has about the Wright County oil share of 1% and 3 points more electric heat than the county's 15% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US27171, checked 2026-10-19).
Monticello has 5,766 housing units, 5% built before 1940 and 19% before 1980, with 47% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2743774, checked 2026-10-19).
Monticello has 5 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 42% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US27171, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Monticello home was built in 1999 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US2743774, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.8 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US2743774, checked 2026-10-19).
52% of Monticello homes are single-family detached, 4% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 21% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US2743774, checked 2026-10-19).
35% of Monticello homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2743774, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 52% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Monticello has 26 points fewer detached houses than Wright County overall (78%) and 13 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 8% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US27171, checked 2026-10-19).
47% of Monticello housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2743774, checked 2026-10-19), and homes that recent usually meet the insulation codes in place at the time, so a heat pump sized to the floor plan lands closer to the real load than it would in an older neighborhood.
No electric utility is on file for Monticello on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Xcel Energy MN residential rebates 2024-2026, run by Xcel Energy, is a live program for Minnesota addresses and covers qualifying equipment at $2,000 per system (registry row 13 verified 2026-10-15, https://www.xcelenergy.com/staticfiles/xe-responsive/Programs%20and%20Rebates/Residential/24-1-201%20MN%20Res%20Rebate%20Summary%20Information%20Sheet.pdf, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Monticello address before counting it. With 18% of Monticello homes already on electric heat and 81% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
CenterPoint Energy MN ducted ASHP rebate, run by CenterPoint Energy, is a live program for Minnesota addresses and lists a standard figure of $1,100 (registry row 46 verified 2026-10-16, https://www.centerpointenergy.com/en-us/savings-solutions/energy-efficiency/ducted-air-source-heat-pump, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Monticello address before counting it.
Median household income in Monticello is $79,534 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US2743774, 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: -13F.

That -13F figure is the Wright County cold-day number a Monticello heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at -13F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 78% of Monticello on gas and 18% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Monticello home has 5.8 rooms and was built around 1999, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
