Eugene Housing Stock
Census figures put the median build year in Eugene at 1979, so a typical house here has about 47 years on it. A lot of these homes are on their second or third system by now. The ductwork is usually original, and leaky joints are common. Owners live in 47.6% of occupied homes, roughly 36,000 households. Homes here have a median value of $435,400 and households a median income of $63,836. Those two numbers drive the labor adjustment in our estimate.
Lane County had 2 hail days and 1 day with damaging thunderstorm winds from 2020 through 2025, according to NOAA storm records. 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.
