HVAC Services in Columbia, SC
Columbia logs 2,572 heating degree days and 2,075 cooling degree days in a normal year, based on the closest NOAA weather station. Neither season dominates in Columbia. That balance is a big reason heat pumps and dual-fuel systems sell well in South Carolina. A normal year brings 47 nights at or below freezing and 73 days over 90°F. 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.
