Heating and cooling in Kentucky
Real summers and real winters. Most homes have central AC plus a gas furnace or heat pump, and both seasons bring peak demand.
Kentucky licenses HVAC contractors at the state level through the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction. A master HVAC contractor license is required for most residential work, and local governments issue permits.
Louisville's summers are hot and very humid because of the Ohio River valley, so oversized AC that doesn't remove moisture is a common complaint. Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles and occasional deep cold that strains heat pumps.
Many older Louisville homes have basements with furnaces and ductwork that predates central air, which affects how much cooling the system can deliver upstairs.
Heat pumps are common in newer Kentucky subdivisions, and gas furnaces dominate in older neighborhoods. Either way, a spring and fall tune-up catches most problems before peak season.
