Brandon Housing Stock
Half the homes in Brandon were built before 1992 (Census ACS median), so the typical house is about 34 years old. Plenty of houses from this period still run original 1990s or early-2000s equipment, which is past its expected service life. Brandon has roughly 25,000 owner-occupied homes, or 55.6% of households. Homes here have a median value of $293,800 and households a median income of $77,068. Those two numbers drive the labor adjustment in our estimate.
NOAA storm reports for Hillsborough County show 5 hail days and 18 days with damaging thunderstorm winds over the six years from 2020 to 2025. The largest hail reported was 3 inches across. Storms here are more likely to cause power surges than coil damage, so a surge protector on the outdoor unit is worth the small cost. Hillsborough County also had 4 tornado days in that period.
