HVAC Services in Chesapeake, VA
In a normal year, Chesapeake racks up 2,809 heating and 2,130 cooling degree days (NOAA 1991-2020 normals). Neither season dominates in Chesapeake. That balance is a big reason heat pumps and dual-fuel systems sell well in Virginia. A normal year brings 52 nights at or below freezing and 66 days over 90°F. Snowfall averages about 6 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.
