Bourbonnais has 18,078 residents (give or take 106) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US1707471, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,941 people per square mile.
Bourbonnais is about 46 miles from the Census center point for Chicago in a straight line and covers 9.313 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 6,179 occupied homes in Bourbonnais, 83% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 14% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1707471, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 83% of Bourbonnais against electricity at 14%, 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.
Bourbonnais has about the Kankakee County oil share of 0% and the same 14% electric share (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US17091, checked 2026-10-19).
Bourbonnais has 6,711 housing units, 1% built before 1940 and 53% before 1980, with 26% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1707471, checked 2026-10-19).
Bourbonnais has 14 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Kankakee County as a whole (15%) and 9 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 17% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US17091, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Bourbonnais home was built in 1979 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1707471, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.9 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US1707471, checked 2026-10-19).
68% of Bourbonnais homes are single-family detached, 11% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 13% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US1707471, checked 2026-10-19).
27% of Bourbonnais homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1707471, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 68% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
No electric utility is on file for Bourbonnais 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 Bourbonnais address before counting it. With 14% of Bourbonnais homes already on electric heat and 84% 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 Bourbonnais is $81,708 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1707471, 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.

That 0F figure is the Kankakee County cold-day number a Bourbonnais 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.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 83% of Bourbonnais on gas and 14% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Bourbonnais home has 5.9 rooms and was built around 1979, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
