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 10 nights at or below freezing and 111 days over 90°F.

Spring Housing Stock
The median Spring 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. Spring has roughly 16,000 owner-occupied homes, or 74.8% of households. Homes here have a median value of $221,300 and households a median income of $86,888. Those two numbers drive the labor adjustment in our estimate.
NOAA storm reports for Harris County show 28 hail days and 44 days with damaging thunderstorm winds over the six years from 2020 to 2025. 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. Harris County also had 9 tornado days in that period.
