Terre Haute Housing Stock
Census figures put the median build year in Terre Haute at 1958, so a typical house here has about 68 years on it. Houses that old often still have duct runs sized for an old coal or oil furnace and 60- or 100-amp electrical panels. Both can add cost when new equipment goes in. Terre Haute has roughly 12,000 owner-occupied homes, or 53.5% of households. With a median household income of $41,960 and a median home value of $109,500, local labor rates come out below the national middle in our model.
Between 2020 and 2025, NOAA's Storm Events Database logged 7 hail days and 24 days with damaging thunderstorm winds in Vigo County. The largest hail reported was 1.75 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.
