Seasons and peak demand in Rockford
Rockford winters average in the 20s with snow and subzero spells. Summers are warm and humid, with highs in the low 80s. Heating runs from October into April. Many homes in Churchill's Grove and Signal Hill have upstairs rooms that run warm in summer because ducts were sized for heat. Adding returns or a ductless head upstairs helps.
