Culloden Climate & Heat Pump Performance

IECC Zone 3
Mixed-Humid

What is Climate Zone 3?

The IECC divides the US into 8 climate zones based on heating and cooling degree days. Zone 1 is the hottest (south Florida, Hawaii); Zone 8 is subarctic (interior Alaska). Monroe county falls in Zone 3. Zone 3 is a warm climate with distinct seasons — warm-to-hot summers and cool winters. Winter lows typically range from 15–30°F.

How Heat Pumps Perform in Zone 3

Heat pumps handle both seasons efficiently. Cooling is the larger load in most Zone 3 cities, but heating demand is meaningful. Standard heat pumps perform well without cold-climate ratings.

What We Recommend for Culloden

Balance SEER2 and HSPF2 when selecting a system. A 16+ SEER2, 9+ HSPF2 model covers both seasons cost-effectively.
