Town 'n' Country Weather and HVAC Load
Town 'n' Country logs 433 heating degree days and 3,928 cooling degree days in a normal year, based on the closest NOAA weather station. Cooling carries most of the load, which is why compressors and condenser fan motors wear out faster here than in northern cities. Freezing nights are rare here, but a normal year brings 94 days over 90°F. On the cooling side, a 2,000 sq ft house here usually needs around 4 tons. A tight, well-insulated house may get by with half a ton less.
