Irondequoit Housing Stock
Half the homes in Irondequoit were built before 1955 (Census ACS median), so the typical house is about 71 years old. Houses that old often still have duct runs sized for an old coal or oil furnace and 60- or 100-amp electrical panels. Both can add cost when new equipment goes in. About 18,000 households here own their home, 79.1% of the occupied total. Homes here have a median value of $169,000 and households a median income of $76,871. Those two numbers drive the labor adjustment in our estimate.
Between 2020 and 2025, NOAA's Storm Events Database logged 5 hail days and 31 days with damaging thunderstorm winds in Monroe County. The largest hail reported was 1.25 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. In Irondequoit, 22.2% 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.
