Orlando Weather and HVAC Load
NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals put Orlando at 524 heating degree days and 3,451 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. Count on roughly 2 nights below 32°F and 110 afternoons past 90°F in a typical year.
| Heating degree days / year | 524 |
|---|---|
| Cooling degree days / year | 3,451 |
| Nights at or below 32°F | 2 |
| Days above 90°F | 110 |
| Average low / high | 62.7°F / 83.2°F |
Orlando Housing Stock
The median Orlando home dates to 1991, according to the Census ACS. That makes the typical house about 35 years old. Plenty of houses from this period still run original 1990s or early-2000s equipment, which is past its expected service life. Orlando has roughly 50,000 owner-occupied homes, or 39.7% of households. With a median household income of $69,268 and a median home value of $359,000, local labor rates come out near the national middle in our model.
NOAA storm reports for Orange County show 14 hail days and 21 days with damaging thunderstorm winds over the six years from 2020 to 2025. 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.
