Seasons and peak demand in Scranton
Scranton winters average in the 20s and 30s with frequent snow. Summers are mild, with highs in the low 80s. Heating runs from October into May. Many homes sit on steep, narrow streets, so equipment deliveries and outdoor unit placement take planning. Cold-climate heat pumps paired with existing boilers are a growing option, and fall boiler service before November prevents most no-heat calls.
