In a normal year, Sherman racks up 2,726 heating and 2,260 cooling degree days (NOAA 1991-2020 normals). Neither season dominates in Sherman.

Snowfall averages about 3 inches. On the cooling side, a 2,000 sq ft house here usually needs around 3.5 tons. A tight, well-insulated house may get by with half a ton less.

NOAA storm reports for Grayson County show 38 hail days and 28 days with damaging thunderstorm winds over the six years from 2020 to 2025. The largest hail reported was 2.5 inches across.

Texas Permits, Efficiency Rules and Rebates
Texas is in the DOE's Southeast region, where new split central air conditioners need at least 14.3 SEER2 (13.8 SEER2 for systems of 45,000 BTU/h and up). Plan on a mechanical permit for most replacements in Sherman; the contractor normally pulls it. Before you sign, ask each bidder for their Texas license or registration number and proof of insurance. The federal 25C tax credit ended for equipment installed after December 31, 2025, so incentives now come mostly from utilities and state programs. Check your electric and gas utility's rebate page before you pick equipment.
Before You Hire
- Rinse the indoor filters once a month during heavy use.
- If winter nights regularly drop below 10°F, pay for a cold-climate model.
- Multi-zone systems cost more per room, but they run off a single outdoor unit.
