HVAC Services in San Antonio, TX
In a normal year, San Antonio racks up 1,527 heating and 2,994 cooling degree days (NOAA 1991-2020 normals). Cooling carries most of the load, which is why compressors and condenser fan motors wear out faster here than in northern cities. On average, San Antonio gets 22 freezing nights and 112 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.
