HVAC in Morgantown, WV: local data & sources
Every numerical claim below references a federal, state, or municipal primary source — NOAA climate normals, U.S. Census ACS, the West Virginia licensing authority, and your local utility's published rebate program.
NOAA NCEI 1991–2020 Normals
Morgantown Municipal Airport (KMGW) is the official NOAA reference station. Per the NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991–2020 (station USW00013736), Morgantown records an annual mean temperature of 53.8°F, an average annual maximum of 63.8°F against an annual minimum of 43.9°F, approximately 4,964.2 annual heating degree days against 930.1 cooling degree days, and an annual precipitation normal of 43.15 inches. The roughly 5.3:1 HDD-to-CDD ratio makes Morgantown a firmly heating-dominant market in the northern West Virginia mountains.
Morgantown’s 4,964.2 HDD profile requires reliable heating capacity through Appalachian winters. The mountainous terrain can produce temperature inversions and localized cold pools. Cold-climate heat pump specification is recommended for any gas-to-electric conversion.
U.S. Census ACS 2023 5-Year
The U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2023 5-year estimates (Tables B25040 and B25035 for Morgantown city, West Virginia) report 12,119 occupied housing units with a median year built of 1966. Heating-fuel distribution: 62.6% utility natural gas (7,590 units), 35.4% electricity (4,294 units), and 145 on bottled/tank/LP gas. The compact housing stock reflects Morgantown’s role as a university town (West Virginia University). Gas dominance is consistent with WV’s Appalachian natural gas production region.
