A new system here works nine months of the year
Goshen County asks for heat from September through May. Winter nights average 15°F from December through February, so whatever you install will run most of the year, not just a few cold snaps. Summer only calls for cooling in July and August, when afternoons average 85°F, but that's still two months where the system has to keep up in the other direction.
That long heating season means the equipment you choose should be sized and rated for real winter work, not mild weather. Wind and winter storms are common here too, with 76 damaging wind events and 69 winter storms recorded over the past ten years, and 8% of Wyoming households lost power for at least 24 hours in 2024. A new install is worth planning with that in mind.

- When should I replace my HVAC system?
- Age and repair history tell you more than any single breakdown. If your furnace is old and you are calling for repairs more winters than not, replacement starts making more sense than another fix. Homes here lean on heat from September through May, so a furnace that struggles in that stretch is asking for trouble on a 15°F night. A contractor can look at the specific unit and tell you whether it is worth repairing again.
- Should I replace my furnace and air conditioner at the same time?
- If both are old and near the end of their life, replacing them together is often worth asking about. They share the same ductwork and often the same blower, so installing them at once means only one round of labor instead of two. That said, if one unit is much newer than the other, there is no reason to replace it just because the older one needs work. A contractor can look at the age and condition of each and tell you what makes sense for your house.
- What happens during an HVAC installation?
- A contractor first removes the old equipment and checks the ductwork, electrical, and venting connected to it, since new equipment has to match what is already there. Then the new furnace, air conditioner, or both go in, get connected to the ducts, gas or electric line, and condensate drain, and get tested to make sure they cycle and heat or cool correctly. On a gas furnace, that includes checking the venting is sealed properly, since it carries exhaust out of the house. A contractor will walk you through what your installation involves before starting.
