Crawford County covers 595 square miles in Arkansas. Its climate is read from the normals recorded at FT SMITH RGNL AP, AR US — 3,098 heating degree days against 2,177 cooling degree days — and its dominant pressure is a heating one. TempReach USA is a referral service, not an HVAC company: one call connects you with an independent local HVAC technician serving the county.
The station for this county's metro is FT SMITH RGNL AP, AR US, and its NOAA 1991-2020 normals are the source of every figure in this section. Precipitation averages 47.34 inches a year; the temperature record averages 62.4 degrees, built from 77.7 days at 90 or above and 62.6 nights at or below freezing; the workload totals 3,098 heating degree days and 2,177 cooling degree days. Crawford County is read through that record throughout this page.
Heating pressure in Crawford County can be counted in codes as well as in degree days. From 72921 through 72946 to 72956, the county's 9 ZIP codes divide 595 square miles of housing that one cold record — 3,098 heating degree days, 62.6 freezing nights, kept at FT SMITH RGNL AP, AR 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.
Distance is the county fact the climate table leaves out. Crawford County's centroid lies northeast of the Fort Smith metro's centre, roughly 15 miles from the centre it is measured against, and that distance is travelled on every call routed here — out through the metro's nearer counties and into this one's 9 ZIP codes. Local knowledge in a county like this is partly a map held in the head: which roads, which communities, which end of the county a call is coming from.
A ZIP code in Crawford County is a small climate-and-housing district of its own. The county's 9 codes — 72921, 72932, 72934, 72935 among them — all read the same normals from FT SMITH RGNL AP, AR US, yet the systems inside them were installed in different decades, serve different house sizes, and fail in different orders. That is why this page prints the whole list rather than a summary: the codes are the finest division of the county the data supports, and they are the division the work itself follows.
There are 2 counties on Crawford County's neighbour list, Sebastian County, Sequoyah County among them, and the list is a reminder that a county page is a slice of a continuous map. The slice is worth keeping separate: this county's land area, its ZIP codes and its communities are its own, and its heating and cooling pressure — the heating profile described above — lands on its own housing. But the slice only makes full sense beside its neighbours, whose pages are linked from this one for exactly that reason.
Consider what one year asks of a system in Crawford County: a cooling season measured at 2,177 degree days, a heating season at 3,098, 77.7 days of serious heat and 62.6 freezing nights, and 47.34 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 595 square miles of housing.
Communities across Crawford County include Van Buren, Alma, Cedarville and Mulberry — 4 listed places in all, spread over the county's 595 square miles in Arkansas. Each community's housing was built in its own decades, so the heating and cooling diary reads differently from one name on that list to the next: older systems and original ductwork in the long-settled places, matched fleets ageing together in the subdivisions, and additions and conversions in the communities still growing at the county's edges.
The housing behind Crawford County's systems is the Fort Smith metro's housing, read at county scale. The largest single share of the metro's homes was built between 1980 and 1999 — 30.9% of the stock — with 45.0% of homes predating 1980 and 24.1% arriving since 2000, around a median build year of 1983. Inside the county those eras divide by community and by street, but the proportions set the diary: a stock weighted to between 1980 and 1999 produces the service patterns of that era's systems, ducts and insulation, in this county as across the metro.
A reader who only had Crawford County's identifying figures would already know its shape: a county of 595 square miles in Arkansas, 9 ZIP codes, 4 communities on the record, sitting northeast of the Fort Smith metro's centre. What the figures cannot say alone is how the ground feels to work — the drives between calls, the mix of decades in the housing, the season that runs taller — and that is what the rest of this page is for, section by section.
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.
One call connects you with an independent local heating and cooling professional serving Crawford County and the Fort Smith metro.
