HVAC Services in Athens, GA
In a normal year, Athens racks up 2,670 heating and 1,954 cooling degree days (NOAA 1991-2020 normals). Neither season dominates in Athens. That balance is a big reason heat pumps and dual-fuel systems sell well in Georgia. Count on roughly 46 nights below 32°F and 62 afternoons past 90°F in a typical year. For a 2,000 sq ft house, this climate points to a heating load somewhere near 40,000 BTU/h. Treat that as a starting number. A Manual J calculation will move it up or down based on insulation and windows.
