Frisco Housing Stock
Half the homes in Frisco were built before 2009 (Census ACS median), so the typical house is about 17 years old. Newer homes are built tighter, so oversized equipment is a common problem. It short-cycles, wastes energy and leaves rooms clammy. About 49,000 households here own their home, 66.5% of the occupied total. With a median household income of $146,158 and a median home value of $595,400, local labor rates come out above the national middle in our model.
NOAA storm reports for Collin County show 39 hail days and 27 days with damaging thunderstorm winds over the six years from 2020 to 2025. The largest hail reported was 3 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. Collin County also had 6 tornado days in that period.
