HVAC Services in Charlotte, NC
In a normal year, Charlotte racks up 3,058 heating and 1,768 cooling degree days (NOAA 1991-2020 normals). Neither season dominates in Charlotte. That balance is a big reason heat pumps and dual-fuel systems sell well in North Carolina. Count on roughly 58 nights below 32°F and 49 afternoons past 90°F in a typical year. Snowfall averages about 4 inches. For a 2,000 sq ft house, this climate points to a heating load somewhere near 45,000 BTU/h. Treat that as a starting number. A Manual J calculation will move it up or down based on insulation and windows.
