What Edina's numbers say about HVAC

Edina counts 54,356 residents (2025 estimate), growing at a middle-of-the-pack 1.7% since 2020^[2]. The city spans 15.5 square miles at 3,516 residents per square mile (the 1st densest) and sits entirely in Hennepin County, served by ZIP codes 55436, 55439, 55435, 55424^[3].

Only 12% of Edina's homes were built in 2010 or later, against 83% before 2000^[1] — most systems here are past any builder warranty, and older homes often keep their original ductwork.

How air moves through a central system

How the loop runs: return duct to filter to air handler to supply ducts. A dirty filter slows everything downstream.

Illustration, not to scale. The local workload: 6 heat or excessive-heat days and 55 winter-storm or freeze days in 2016–2025 — filters, coils and capacitors age faster under long cooling seasons. 1 lightning-damage report within 10 miles and 105 damaging-wind reports over the same span.
