Anaheim Weather and HVAC Load
NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals put Anaheim at 792 heating degree days and 1,811 cooling degree days per year. Cooling carries most of the load, which is why compressors and condenser fan motors wear out faster here than in northern cities. Freezing nights are rare here, but a normal year brings 47 days over 90°F.
| Heating degree days / year | 792 |
|---|---|
| Cooling degree days / year | 1,811 |

Anaheim Housing Stock
The median Anaheim home dates to 1973, according to the Census ACS. That makes the typical house about 53 years old. A lot of these homes are on their second or third system by now. The ductwork is usually original, and leaky joints are common. Anaheim has roughly 49,000 owner-occupied homes, or 45.9% of households. Homes here have a median value of $771,700 and households a median income of $90,583. Those two numbers drive the labor adjustment in our estimate.
Orange County had 2 days with damaging thunderstorm winds from 2020 through 2025, according to NOAA storm records. 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.
