Milwaukie sits just south of Portland along the Willamette River, and its summers have been getting warmer in recent years. The Pacific Northwest's historically mild summers meant air conditioning was optional for many homes for decades, but that calculation has shifted. Milwaukie's older housing stock, much of it built in the 1940s through the 1970s, was designed without central AC, and homeowners are now retrofitting systems into homes that weren't engineered with cooling in mind. That makes proper load calculation and equipment selection more important here than in markets where AC was built in from the start.
