HVAC in Pennsylvania: What You Need to Know
Pennsylvania falls in Climate Zone 5A (Cool-Humid), which heating efficiency is the priority; cooling secondary. Understanding these local factors helps you make better decisions about materials and timing.
Heating Dominant
5,000-7,000 heating degree days. Furnace efficiency is biggest factor in energy bills.
Heat Pump Limits
Traditional heat pumps lose efficiency below 30°F. Cold-climate models work to -15°F.
AC Still Needed
Humid summers mean AC adds comfort. Right-sized system handles both.
