What business owners face in Houston hvac
Climate Normals (1991–2020) put Houston at 1,361 heating degree days and 2,945 cooling degree days, with 49.8 inches of annual precipitation. The hazard pattern that matters for hvac is hurricane season (jun–nov), severe flooding events, high humidity year-round.
- Year-round cooling load (CDD ~3000) drives compressor wear at roughly 1.5x national average — replacement cycles compress accordingly
- Hurricane preparation and post-storm restart surge before and after each major Gulf storm event
- Humidity-related condensate line clogs are weekly call volume — drain pan overflow can spike emergency calls during shoulder months
