HVAC Services in Milwaukee, WI
NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals put Milwaukee at 6,792 heating degree days and 727 cooling degree days per year.

Count on roughly 134 nights below 32°F and 17 afternoons past 90°F in a typical year. Snowfall averages about 40 inches. For a 2,000 sq ft house, this climate points to a heating load somewhere near 70,000 BTU/h. Treat that as a starting number.

Homes in Milwaukee
The median Milwaukee home dates to 1952, according to the Census ACS. That makes the typical house about 74 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. Milwaukee has roughly 96,000 owner-occupied homes, or 41.5% of households. Homes here have a median value of $172,000 and households a median income of $51,888. Those two numbers drive the labor adjustment in our estimate.
