Wellington Weather and HVAC Load
NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals put Wellington at 201 heating degree days and 4,165 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. Freezing nights are rare here, but a normal year brings 74 days over 90°F.

Wellington Housing Stock
Census figures put the median build year in Wellington at 1995, so a typical house here has about 31 years on it. Plenty of houses from this period still run original 1990s or early-2000s equipment, which is past its expected service life. About 16,000 households here own their home, 74.5% of the occupied total. Homes here have a median value of $557,100 and households a median income of $110,294. Those two numbers drive the labor adjustment in our estimate.
Between 2020 and 2025, NOAA's Storm Events Database logged 21 hail days and 28 days with damaging thunderstorm winds in Palm Beach County. The largest hail reported was 1.75 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. Palm Beach County also had 13 tornado days in that period.
