Yorkville has 23,617 residents (give or take 568) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US1784038, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,172 people per square mile.
Yorkville is about 40 miles from the Census center point for Chicago in a straight line and covers 20.144 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 Yorkville that is 60512 (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 8,140 occupied homes in Yorkville, 81% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 17% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1784038, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 81% of Yorkville against electricity at 17%, 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.
Yorkville has about the Kendall County oil share of 0% and 7 points more electric heat than the county's 10% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US17093, checked 2026-10-19).
Yorkville has 8,295 housing units, 1% built before 1940 and 14% before 1980, with 68% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1784038, checked 2026-10-19).
Yorkville has 3 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Kendall County as a whole (4%) and 13 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 55% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US17093, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Yorkville home was built in 2003 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1784038, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.8 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US1784038, checked 2026-10-19).
64% of Yorkville homes are single-family detached, 4% 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=160XX00US1784038, checked 2026-10-19).
20% of Yorkville homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1784038, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 64% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Yorkville has 10 points fewer detached houses than Kendall County overall (74%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US17093, checked 2026-10-19).
68% of Yorkville housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1784038, 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 Yorkville 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 Yorkville address before counting it. With 17% of Yorkville homes already on electric heat and 82% 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 Yorkville is $108,513 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1784038, 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 -2F figure is the Kendall County cold-day number a Yorkville heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at -2F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 81% of Yorkville on gas and 17% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Yorkville home has 6.8 rooms and was built around 2003, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
