Springfield Housing Stock
The median Springfield home dates to 1952, according to the Census ACS. That makes the typical house about 74 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. Springfield has roughly 13,000 owner-occupied homes, or 52.5% of households. The median home value is $107,600, and median household income is $45,883. We use both figures to adjust labor and pricing for this page.
Between 2020 and 2025, NOAA's Storm Events Database logged 7 hail days and 24 days with damaging thunderstorm winds in Clark County. The largest hail reported was 2 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. Clark County also had 4 tornado days in that period.
