Toledo Housing Stock
The median Toledo home dates to 1955, according to the Census ACS. That makes the typical house about 71 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. About 62,000 households here own their home, 52.7% of the occupied total. With a median household income of $47,532 and a median home value of $107,000, local labor rates come out below the national middle in our model.
Lucas County had 5 hail days and 26 days with damaging thunderstorm winds from 2020 through 2025, according to NOAA storm records. The largest hail reported was 2.5 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.
