Start here if you read nothing else: this page covers Madera County, California — 2,137 square miles, 3 listed communities, a centroid north of the Fresno metro's centre. Its climate record, from FRESNO YOSEMITE INTL AP, CA US, sets a cooling pressure on its systems. TempReach USA publishes the homework and routes the call; an independent local HVAC technician serving the county does the work.
The station for this county's metro is FRESNO YOSEMITE INTL AP, CA US, and its NOAA 1991-2020 normals are the source of every figure in this section. Precipitation averages 10.99 inches a year; the temperature record averages 65.0 degrees, built from 113.3 days at 90 or above and 10.7 nights at or below freezing; the workload totals 2,186 heating degree days and 2,209 cooling degree days. Madera County is read through that record throughout this page.
Cooling pressure in Madera County can also be counted in ground rather than in degrees. The county spreads its homes over 2,137 square miles — 13 ZIP codes at 164.4 square miles per code, running from 93601 to 93669 — and every one of those codes asks the same July question of systems fitted in different building decades. The degree days, 2,209 of them against 2,186 heating degree days, set the season's size; the codes and the decades set the order in which it is answered.
Distance is the county fact the climate table leaves out. Madera County's centroid lies north of the Fresno metro's centre, roughly 16 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 13 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.
Routing in Madera County is written in five digits. The county's codes begin at 93601 and run to 93669, 13 in total, and between the first and the last sits the county's full spread of ground — 2,137 square miles from the metro-facing edge to the far side. A technician's week here is a tour of those codes, and the tour is also a tour of the county's building history, because each code's systems were largely fitted when that code's streets were built.
Neighbouring counties are the honest context for Madera County's figures. Its 2,137 square miles sit inside a wider spread of county ground — Fresno County are among the 1 neighbours on its record — and its position north of the Fresno metro's centre places it on its own side of that spread. A system near the county's edge may be closer to a neighbouring county's centre than to its own; the pages are organised by county because the data is, and the links between them carry the rest of the picture.
Two numbers organise Madera County's heating and cooling year: 2,186 and 2,209, the heating and cooling degree days in the normals at FRESNO YOSEMITE INTL AP, CA US. Whichever runs larger decides the county's dominant pressure — here, a cooling one — and with it the season a household should prepare for first. The supporting figures fill in the texture: 65.0 degrees as the year's average temperature, 113.3 hot days, 10.7 freezing nights, 10.99 inches of precipitation. Every paragraph on this page is, in the end, a reading of those six numbers on this county's ground.
Madera County is a county of distinct communities rather than one continuous town: Madera, Chowchilla, Madera Acres and its remaining communities are among the 3 places on its record, each with its own building era and its own stock of systems. Position plays its part as well — the county sits north of the Fresno metro's centre, so its communities meet the Fresno metro's weather at slightly different distances from the centre — but it is the place list that a service diary follows, name by name, through the year.
The growth figures deserve their own reading in Madera County. 25.2% of the Fresno metro's homes were built since 2000 — the largest or near-largest band in many of its counties — and those homes are now old enough that their first systems are reaching replacement age together, subdivision by subdivision. Set against them, the 47.4% of the metro's stock that predates 1980 is deep into its second and third systems. One county, two replacement waves running at once, and a maintenance diary that has to serve both.
A reader who only had Madera County's identifying figures would already know its shape: a county of 2,137 square miles in California, 13 ZIP codes, 3 communities on the record, sitting north of the Fresno 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 Madera County and the Fresno metro.
