Horizon West Housing Stock
The median Horizon West home dates to 2013, according to the Census ACS. That makes the typical house about 13 years old. Newer homes are built tighter, so oversized equipment is a common problem. It short-cycles, wastes energy and leaves rooms clammy. Owners live in 69% of occupied homes, roughly 14,000 households. Homes here have a median value of $498,700 and households a median income of $123,586. Those two numbers drive the labor adjustment in our estimate.
Orange County had 14 hail days and 21 days with damaging thunderstorm winds from 2020 through 2025, according to NOAA storm records. The largest hail reported was 1.75 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. Orange County also had 3 tornado days in that period.
