HVAC Services in Raleigh, NC
In a normal year, Raleigh racks up 3,165 heating and 1,778 cooling degree days (NOAA 1991-2020 normals). Neither season dominates in Raleigh. That balance is a big reason heat pumps and dual-fuel systems sell well in North Carolina. A normal year brings 57 nights at or below freezing and 47 days over 90°F. Snowfall averages about 5 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.
