HVAC Services in Lafayette, LA
Lafayette logs 1,574 heating degree days and 2,715 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. On average, Lafayette gets 18 freezing nights and 80 days above 90°F per year. For a 2,000 sq ft house, this climate points to a heating load somewhere near 35,000 BTU/h. Treat that as a starting number. A Manual J calculation will move it up or down based on insulation and windows.
