NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals put Jacksonville at 943 heating degree days and 3,302 cooling degree days per year. Cooling carries most of the load, which is why compressors and condenser fan motors wear out faster here than in northern cities. A normal year brings 4 nights at or below freezing and 96 days over 90°F.

Jacksonville Housing Stock
The median Jacksonville home dates to 1986, according to the Census ACS. That makes the typical house about 40 years old. Plenty of houses from this period still run original 1990s or early-2000s equipment, which is past its expected service life. Owners live in 57.4% of occupied homes, roughly 221,000 households. With a median household income of $66,981 and a median home value of $266,100, local labor rates come out near the national middle in our model.
Between 2020 and 2025, NOAA's Storm Events Database logged 16 hail days and 72 days with damaging thunderstorm winds in Duval County. The largest hail reported was 2 inches across. Hail flattens the thin aluminum fins on condenser coils and cuts airflow. After a big storm, take a look at the outdoor unit; homeowners insurance often covers the damage. Duval County also had 7 tornado days in that period.
