FAQ
Missouri HVAC Contractor Funding — FAQ
How extreme is Kansas City's dual-season climate for HVAC contractors?
Kansas City averages 89°F highs in July with 72% relative humidity and 26°F lows in January — a 63°F seasonal spread between July high and January low that is one of the widest of any large US metro (exceeded only by Minneapolis and Chicago among major metros). At 89°F/72%RH, central air conditioning is not optional — the heat index exceeds 95°F in Kansas City regularly in July and August. At 26°F, gas furnaces and heat pumps are running at maximum capacity. Missouri HVAC contractors have genuine full dual-season peak demand, making Missouri one of the best HVAC markets per capita in the US.
