Parma Housing Stock
The median Parma home dates to 1958, according to the Census ACS. That makes the typical house about 68 years old. 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. Parma has roughly 25,000 owner-occupied homes, or 72.8% of households. Homes here have a median value of $157,600 and households a median income of $67,425. Those two numbers drive the labor adjustment in our estimate.
Cuyahoga County had 9 hail days and 37 days with damaging thunderstorm winds from 2020 through 2025, according to NOAA storm records. 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. Cuyahoga County also had 2 tornado days in that period. In Parma, 20.1% of residents are 65 or older. For older adults, a house with no heat in January or no AC during a heat wave is a medical risk. Mention it when you call, since many companies put those calls first.
