Heating and cooling help in Weber County

Heating & cooling in Weber County: what the local homes tell you

The median home in Weber County was built in 1984, older than Utah as a whole, where the median is 1992. 45% of homes were built before 1980, and 24% before 1960. 74% are owner-occupied, and 70% are single-family detached houses.

The 2021 IECC puts Weber County in climate zone 5B, the cold-dry zone most of Utah shares. RESNET's county table lists a 1% cooling design temperature of 96°F and a 99% heating design temperature of 0°F for Weber County. Those are the figures a load calculation sizes equipment against — not the record high or low, but the temperature the system has to keep up with on a normal hard day.

83% of occupied homes in Weber County heat with utility gas and 15% with electricity (statewide it is 79% and 17%).

In older homes the ductwork was often sized for the equipment that came with the house. When a system is replaced, ask for a load calculation rather than a like-for-like swap: the house may have new windows, insulation or additions the old sizing never saw.
