Seasons and peak demand in Reading
Reading summers bring highs in the mid-80s with humidity. Winters average in the 30s with snow and occasional single-digit cold. Heating runs from October into April. Many rowhouses have shared chimneys that need liners when boilers are replaced, and flat roofs where condensers can sit with proper curbs. Upstairs rooms often run warm in summer. Book boiler service in early fall, before the first cold week, and AC service in spring.
