Read Clay County's weather the way this page reads it: through the thirty-year normals kept at WICHITA FALLS MUNI AP, TX US for the Wichita Falls metro. Those normals give the county 2,445 cooling degree days and 2,897 heating degree days a year, 27.89 inches of precipitation, 104.7 days at 90 degrees or above, 58.5 nights at or below freezing, and an average temperature of 63.7 degrees — the fixed background every system in the county works against.
Heating pressure in Clay County can be counted in codes as well as in degree days. From 76228 through 76357 to 76377, the county's 5 ZIP codes divide 1,089 square miles of housing that one cold record — 2,897 heating degree days, 58.5 freezing nights, kept at WICHITA FALLS MUNI AP, TX US — examines in a single night. The fault is usually an old one, an igniter or an exchanger at the end of its winters; the ground it is found on, code by code, is what makes the diary this county's.
Set the county inside its metro and the picture completes. Clay County answers to the Wichita Falls metro's data — its housing profile, its problem ranking, its climate station — but the county is where that data touches ground: 4 communities, 5 ZIP codes, one county's worth of systems ageing under the record kept at WICHITA FALLS MUNI AP, TX US. This page is that ground-level reading, kept separate from the metro page so the local detail is never averaged away.
The ZIP list is the county's working map. Clay County carries 5 codes, running from 76228 through 76357 in the middle of the list to 76377 at its end, and every code on it is a small housing census of its own — the building decades, the system generations, the duct materials of its streets. Heating and cooling work routed by those codes meets the county in slices, and the slices differ more than the county's shared climate record would suggest.
The counties around Clay County include Archer County, Wichita County, and the whole group shares the Wichita Falls metro's climate record from WICHITA FALLS MUNI AP, TX US. What the neighbours do not share is this county's ground: 1,089 square miles, 5 ZIP codes, a centroid east of the Wichita Falls metro's centre. Service patterns cross the county line freely — a cold week fills diaries on both sides of it — but the mix of housing and systems on each side is its own, which is why each county in the group carries its own page.
Consider what one year asks of a system in Clay County: a cooling season measured at 2,445 degree days, a heating season at 2,897, 104.7 days of serious heat and 58.5 freezing nights, and 27.89 inches of precipitation working on every outdoor unit through all of it. No single figure is remarkable; the combination is the county's climate, and it is the combination a system has to survive for fifteen or twenty years. The service patterns described on this page are that arithmetic, playing out across 1,089 square miles of housing.
There is a practical reason this page names Clay County's communities one by one. A heating or cooling system belongs to a house, a house belongs to a community, and the community's building decade is the strongest single clue to what the system will need — the 4 places recorded here, from Henrietta through Byers and beyond, each carry that clue in their streets. The metro data on the Wichita Falls page describes the whole region; this list is where the description becomes local.
Age is the county's second climate. The Wichita Falls metro's median home was built in 1973, and 61.3% of its homes predate 1980 — in Clay County, that share is the older districts and the long-settled communities, where ductwork from an earlier equipment era still serves replacement systems. The newer share, 15.2% built since 2000, concentrates in the county's growth edges. The service diary divides along that line: deep equipment-and-duct conversations at the old end, first-replacement and control conversations at the new one.
One way to hold Clay County in mind is as the local layer of a wider dataset. Above it sits the Wichita Falls metro, with its Census housing profile and its NOAA station at WICHITA FALLS MUNI AP, TX US. At this level sit the county's own numbers — 1,089 square miles, 2 neighbouring counties, 5 ZIP codes, 4 listed places — and below it, not published anywhere, sit the individual homes whose systems all of it describes. This page works at the middle level, where the data is still local enough to act on.
City pages carry the metro-wide homework — housing eras, the problem ranking, services in depth. This county sits inside their coverage.

TempReach USA is not an HVAC company. We employ no heating or cooling technicians, we run no service trucks, and we do not carry out HVAC work of any kind. This website and its call center exist for one purpose: to connect homeowners with independent local heating and cooling professionals who serve their area. When you call the number on this site, your call is routed to such a professional. From that point, everything about the job belongs to that professional and to you: the assessment, the work itself, the scheduling, what you are charged, and the terms of any agreement you reach. The professional who takes your job is solely responsible for it. The technician who arrives at your home runs their own business; they are not an employee, agent or subcontractor of TempReach USA. Our part is the information on these pages — assembled from Census Bureau housing data and NOAA climate records for each metro — and the routing of your call. We state this plainly on purpose: you should know exactly who you are hiring before anyone picks up a wrench or a gauge.
