La Salle in Weld County

La Salle has 3,061 residents (give or take 447) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US0843605, checked 2026-10-19), about 3,111 people per square mile.

La Salle is about 42 miles from the Census center point for Denver in a straight line and covers 0.984 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).

3,111 people per square mile puts La Salle 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 1,050 occupied homes in La Salle, 94% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 6% with electricity and 0% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US0843605, checked 2026-10-19).

Gas heats 94% of La Salle against electricity at 6%, 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.

La Salle has about the Weld County oil share of 0% and 12 points less electric heat than the county's 18% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US08123, checked 2026-10-19).

Housing stock

La Salle has 1,077 housing units, 10% built before 1940 and 73% before 1980, with 24% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0843605, checked 2026-10-19).

La Salle has 3 points more pre-1940 homes than Weld County as a whole (7%) and 28 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 52% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US08123, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.

The median La Salle home was built in 1974 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US0843605, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 7.1 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US0843605, checked 2026-10-19).

96% of La Salle homes are single-family detached, 3% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 0% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US0843605, checked 2026-10-19).

With 96% detached houses and 3% in small multi-family buildings, a La Salle quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 12% of La Salle homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0843605, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.

La Salle has 23 points more detached houses than Weld County overall (73%) and 11 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 11% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US08123, checked 2026-10-19).

Only 12% of La Salle homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0843605, 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.

73% of La Salle homes were built before 1980 and only 24% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0843605, checked 2026-10-19), so most of the stock predates modern insulation codes; the installer's heat-loss calculation, not a square-footage rule, decides the tonnage.

Rebate path

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

Colorado Heat Pump Tax Credit (HPTC), run by Colorado Energy Office, is a live program for Colorado addresses and lists a standard figure of $1,000 (registry row 4 verified 2026-10-15, https://energyoffice.colorado.gov/hptc, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the La Salle address before counting it. With 6% of La Salle homes already on electric heat and 94% 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 La Salle is $95,833 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US0843605, 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: 0F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Weld County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 14 to 16 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 0F figure is the Weld County cold-day number a La Salle 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.

Next step

Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 94% of La Salle on gas and 6% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median La Salle home has 7.1 rooms and was built around 1974, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
