Fuel mix

Of the 5,297 occupied homes in Antioch, 83% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 15% with electricity and 0% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1701595, checked 2026-10-19).

Gas heats 83% of Antioch against electricity at 15%, 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.

Antioch has about the Lake County oil share of 0% and the same 15% electric share (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US17097, checked 2026-10-19).

Housing stock

Antioch has 5,507 housing units, 4% built before 1940 and 38% before 1980, with 36% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1701595, checked 2026-10-19).

Antioch has 4 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Lake County as a whole (8%) and 16 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 20% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US17097, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Antioch home was built in 1991 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1701595, 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=160XX00US1701595, checked 2026-10-19).

72% of Antioch homes are single-family detached, 5% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 17% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US1701595, checked 2026-10-19).

With 72% detached houses and 5% in small multi-family buildings, a Antioch quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 26% of Antioch homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1701595, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.

Antioch has 5 points more detached houses than Lake County overall (67%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US17097, checked 2026-10-19).

Rebate path

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

Ameren Illinois Instant Incentives (ducted ASHP), run by Ameren Illinois, is a live program for Illinois addresses and lists a standard figure of $900 (registry row 45 verified 2026-10-15, https://amerenillinoissavings.com/residential/ducted-air-source-heat-pump/, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Antioch address before counting it. With 15% of Antioch homes already on electric heat and 83% 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 Antioch is $108,899 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1701595, 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: -3F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Lake County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 29 to 33 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 -3F figure is the Lake County cold-day number a Antioch heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at -3F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.

Next step

Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 83% of Antioch 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 Antioch home has 6.5 rooms and was built around 1991, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
