Seasons and peak demand in Olympia
Olympia winters are cool and very wet, with temperatures in the 30s and 40s. Summers are dry and mild, with occasional heat waves above 90°F and wildfire smoke. Heating is needed from October into May. Many older homes on the Eastside and Westside were built before insulation standards, so air sealing and attic insulation make a new heat pump work better. Late-summer wildfire smoke also makes a MERV 13 filter worth adding.
