Pasadena has 34,309 residents (give or take 2,245) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US2460475, checked 2026-10-19), about 2,298 people per square mile.
Pasadena is about 10 miles from the Census center point for Baltimore in a straight line and covers 14.928 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 Pasadena that is 21060, 21122, 21226 (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).
Of the 12,744 occupied homes in Pasadena, 35% heat with natural gas, 9% with heating oil, 51% with electricity and 4% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US2460475, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 51% of Pasadena homes, ahead of gas at 35%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Pasadena has about the Anne Arundel County oil share of 8% and 1 points more electric heat than the county's 50% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US24003, checked 2026-10-19).
Pasadena has 12,978 housing units, 1% built before 1940 and 25% before 1980, with 44% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2460475, checked 2026-10-19).
Pasadena has 4 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Anne Arundel County as a whole (5%) and 19 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 25% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US24003, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Pasadena home was built in 1996 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US2460475, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.3 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US2460475, checked 2026-10-19).
56% of Pasadena homes are single-family detached, 1% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 10% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US2460475, checked 2026-10-19).
16% of Pasadena homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2460475, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 56% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
44% of Pasadena housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2460475, 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 Pasadena on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Median household income in Pasadena is $129,727 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US2460475, 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: 17F.

That 17F figure is the Anne Arundel County cold-day number a Pasadena heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 17F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Pasadena home has 6.3 rooms and was built around 1996, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
