Levittown Housing Stock
The median Levittown home dates to 1952, according to the Census ACS. That makes the typical house about 74 years old. Many houses that age were built with hot-water or steam heat, and plenty still run cast-iron boilers and radiators. About 16,000 households here own their home, 93.7% of the occupied total. With a median household income of $139,696 and a median home value of $564,000, local labor rates come out above the national middle in our model.
Nassau County had 5 hail days and 20 days with damaging thunderstorm winds from 2020 through 2025, according to NOAA storm records. The largest hail reported was 1.5 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.

New York Permits, Efficiency Rules and Rebates
New York falls in the DOE's North region. New split central air conditioners must meet at least 13.4 SEER2, and heat pumps sold anywhere in the U.S. need 14.3 SEER2 and 7.5 HSPF2. Plan on a mechanical permit for most replacements in Levittown; the contractor normally pulls it. Before you sign, ask each bidder for their New York license or registration number and proof of insurance. The federal 25C tax credit ended for equipment installed after December 31, 2025, so incentives now come mostly from utilities and state programs. Check your electric and gas utility's rebate page before you pick equipment.
Before You Hire
- A combi boiler frees up space and replaces your water heater.
- Ask for a heat-loss calculation. A lot of old boilers are much bigger than the house needs.
- Ask your gas or oil company about rebates on condensing boilers.
