Heating and cooling climate
NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals for the SHRUB OAK, NY station (about 5 miles away) show about 6,014 heating degree days and 636 cooling degree days in a typical year, with about 136 nights at or below freezing and 16 days reaching 90°F or more. Heating demand is far larger than cooling demand here, so the furnace, boiler or heat pump carries most of the load and a breakdown in a cold snap is the most pressing kind of call.
