Local homes
Lehigh Acres housing and HVAC
Most homes are single-story concrete block houses on slabs with air handlers in garages and attic ducts. Many were built during the 2000s boom or since 2015 and have builder-grade equipment. Lots are large and spread out, so many homes have long refrigerant line runs and air handlers in hot garages.
Lehigh Acres has hot, humid summers with highs in the low 90s and daily storms, and mild winters. Being inland, it avoided Ian's storm surge but saw wind damage and flooding.
