Heating & cooling

Heating and cooling a home in Eden

Engineers use “degree days” to estimate how hard a furnace or air conditioner works. In Eden, 95% of that work is heating and 5% is cooling, so the furnace matters far more than the air conditioner.

95%heating
7,268 heating degree daysMore heating than 77% of U.S. towns
359 cooling degree daysLess cooling than 88% of U.S. towns

Degree days measure how far each day’s average temperature falls below or rises above 65°, added up over a year. Source: NOAA station normals.
