Melbourne Weather and HVAC Load
In a normal year, Melbourne racks up 501 heating and 3,401 cooling degree days (NOAA 1991-2020 normals). Cooling carries most of the load, which is why compressors and condenser fan motors wear out faster here than in northern cities. A normal year brings 2 nights at or below freezing and 76 days over 90°F.
| Heating degree days / year | 501 |
|---|---|
| Cooling degree days / year | 3,401 |
| Nights at or below 32°F | 2 |
| Days above 90°F | 76 |
| Average low / high | 63.4°F / 82.4°F |
Melbourne Housing Stock
Half the homes in Melbourne were built before 1984 (Census ACS median), so the typical house is about 42 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. Melbourne has roughly 22,000 owner-occupied homes, or 60.3% of households. The median home value is $272,900, and median household income is $64,504. We use both figures to adjust labor and pricing for this page.
Between 2020 and 2025, NOAA's Storm Events Database logged 10 hail days and 41 days with damaging thunderstorm winds in Brevard County. The largest hail reported was 2 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. Brevard County also had 8 tornado days in that period. In Melbourne, 22.6% of residents are 65 or older. For older adults, a house with no heat in January or no AC during a heat wave is a medical risk. Mention it when you call, since many companies put those calls first.
