Of the 4,951 occupied homes in West Monroe, 30% heat with natural gas, 1% with heating oil, 66% with electricity and 3% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US2280955, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 66% of West Monroe homes, ahead of gas at 30%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
West Monroe has about the Ouachita Parish oil share of 0% and 1 points less electric heat than the county's 67% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US22073, checked 2026-10-19).

The median West Monroe home was built in 1974 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US2280955, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.2 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US2280955, checked 2026-10-19).
63% of West Monroe homes are single-family detached, 12% 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=160XX00US2280955, checked 2026-10-19).
55% of West Monroe homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2280955, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 63% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.

That 24F figure is the Ouachita Parish cold-day number a West Monroe heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 24F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median West Monroe home has 5.2 rooms and was built around 1974, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
