— Local HVAC context
How we size systems for Rice homes
Rice, Minnesota runs a 99% winter design temperature near -14°F and roughly 8,300 heating-degree days a year, so furnaces and heat pumps here get sized for ~8 months of real heating load. Summer design temps near 91°F keep central AC and dual-fuel heat pumps working through July and August humidity.
