Dense postwar lots make placement and clearance from windows and openings the first constraint, ahead of sizing.

Newer homes have larger electrical services and known panel capacity, which simplifies load calculation considerably.

Historic-core properties may face expectations about equipment visible from the street, which affects siting.

Uniform lot layouts mean gas line routing and clearances are repeatable across the neighborhood.

Low-lying river-adjacent parcels need the unit set above flood elevation, which is a siting decision, not an afterthought.

Mature lots with narrow side yards frequently make clearance the binding constraint on where a unit can legally sit.

Storm-driven outages are the usual reason here, so whole-house versus essential-circuits is the decision worth making first.

Older services near the base may need a panel assessment before an automatic transfer switch can be specified.
