Only 17% of homes have heat pumps at the moment. 80M (though I believe its closer to 88M) homes in the US are single family detached homes.

What region are you in? Local contractor knowledge around heat pumps is quite regional.

Why would 13.6M homes with heat pumps need to replace their heat pump with a heat pump?

What percentage of that 80M single family homes have a climate that can run on heat pumps?
