Across 102 cities, the dominant HVAC profile is dual-fuel: with median 6,200 heating degree days and 900 cooling degree days, the typical home benefits from a dual-fuel setup — a heat pump for mild days plus a gas furnace that takes over during deep cold snaps.

Pennsylvania does not issue a statewide HVAC trade license. All contractors performing $5,000+ of residential work must register as a Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) with the PA Office of Attorney General — verify at hic.attorneygeneral.gov. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and many townships additionally require a local mechanical or HVAC license; check the municipal licensing office.
