Jeffersonville Weather and HVAC Load
NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals put Jeffersonville at 4,140 heating degree days and 1,642 cooling degree days per year. Heating is the bigger job here, and furnaces and heat pumps in Jeffersonville put in far more hours than the air conditioner. A normal year brings 77 nights at or below freezing and 46 days over 90°F. Snowfall averages about 4 inches. For a 2,000 sq ft house, this climate points to a heating load somewhere near 50,000 BTU/h. Treat that as a starting number. A Manual J calculation will move it up or down based on insulation and windows.

Symptoms Worth a Service Call
- Cold air coming out of the vents
- The blower won't stop running
- The thermostat calls for heat and nothing happens
- A yellow or flickering flame instead of a steady blue one
- The burners light, then shut off a few seconds later
What Moves the Price
- The diagnostic or service call fee
- The furnace's age and brand, which affect parts availability
- Whether the part is still under the manufacturer warranty
- Which part failed: a flame sensor costs far less than a control board or blower motor
- Night, weekend or holiday rates

Indiana Licensing and Efficiency Rules
Indiana falls in the DOE's North region. New split central air conditioners must meet at least 13.4 SEER2, and heat pumps sold anywhere in the U.S. need 14.3 SEER2 and 7.5 HSPF2. Most repairs don't need a permit. Anyone who opens the refrigerant circuit does need EPA Section 608 certification, and in Indiana the company should carry a state license or registration. Ask for both.
Before You Hire
- Check the filter, the thermostat batteries and the breaker first. Those three cause a surprising number of no-heat calls.
- If the furnace is past 15, ask the tech to price both a repair and a replacement.
- Have the model and serial number from the furnace label handy. Parts get ordered faster.
