HVAC Services in Richmond, VA
NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals put Richmond at 3,736 heating degree days and 1,560 cooling degree days per year. Heating is the bigger job here, and furnaces and heat pumps in Richmond put in far more hours than the air conditioner. Count on roughly 74 nights below 32°F and 45 afternoons past 90°F in a typical year. Snowfall averages about 9 inches. For a 2,000 sq ft house, this climate points to a heating load somewhere near 50,000 BTU/h. Treat that as a starting number. A Manual J calculation will move it up or down based on insulation and windows.
