One county, read on its own ground: Newton County, Missouri — 3 communities, 8 ZIP codes, 2 neighbouring counties, inside the Joplin metro. TempReach USA connects you with an independent local HVAC technician serving the county, and this page is the homework behind the connection.

In brief: 625 square miles of Missouri, a climate read from JOPLIN REGIONAL AIRPORT, MO US's normals, and a heating pressure as the county's dominant one — 4,120 heating degree days set against 1,650 cooling degree days in an average year. TempReach USA does not do the work itself; it is a referral service, and one call connects you with an independent local HVAC technician serving Newton County.
The station for this county's metro is JOPLIN REGIONAL AIRPORT, MO US, and its NOAA 1991-2020 normals are the source of every figure in this section. Precipitation averages 45.58 inches a year; the temperature record averages 58.1 degrees, built from 52.9 days at 90 or above and 86.9 nights at or below freezing; the workload totals 4,120 heating degree days and 1,650 cooling degree days. Newton County is read through that record throughout this page.
The neighbours tell part of Newton County's heating story: Cherokee County, Jasper County are among the counties around it, all reading the same record at JOPLIN REGIONAL AIRPORT, MO US, all filling their diaries in the same cold weeks. What separates this county's share is its own ground — 625 square miles lying southeast of the Joplin metro's centre, roughly 16 miles from the metro's centre — and its own housing, fitted across the decades its communities were built. The season is regional; the failures are local, one system at a time, at addresses only this county has.
Set the county inside its metro and the picture completes. Newton County answers to the Joplin metro's data — its housing profile, its problem ranking, its climate station — but the county is where that data touches ground: 3 communities, 8 ZIP codes, one county's worth of systems ageing under the record kept at JOPLIN REGIONAL AIRPORT, MO US. This page is that ground-level reading, kept separate from the metro page so the local detail is never averaged away.
Count the coverage from the codes upward: 64804, 64840 and 64842 are the first codes on Newton County's list of 8, spread across its 625 square miles in Missouri. No two of those codes hold quite the same housing — one may be a settled community's streets, the next newer subdivisions, the next open county ground — so the same climate record produces a different run of calls inside each. The full list is printed on this page; the diary is written code by code.
Newton County sits alongside Cherokee County, Jasper County in the Joplin area — 2 neighbouring counties share its coverage map in all, and the borders between them are lines on a map rather than changes in the weather. The same station record travels across those borders, the same housing decades appear on both sides, and a technician's ground here is really the cluster: this county and its neighbours, read together, with this page keeping Newton County's own share of the picture separate.
There is a geography to Newton County's seasons that the totals flatten. The county lies southeast of the Joplin metro's centre, roughly 16 miles from the centre the record is measured against, and its 625 square miles do not meet a hot week or a cold snap in one voice: the ground nearer the metro and the ground at the county's far edge live the same 52.9 hot days and 86.9 freezing nights through different housing, fitted in different decades. One station record, one county, two ends of every season.
Newton County is a county of distinct communities rather than one continuous town: Neosho, Granby, Seneca 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 southeast of the Joplin metro's centre, so its communities meet the Joplin 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.
Ownership writes part of the diary too. Across the Joplin metro, 68.0% of households own their homes, and owner-occupiers and landlords keep different maintenance calendars — owners tending to plan replacements in the shoulder seasons, rented homes more often meeting their systems at the point of failure. Newton County shares that metro pattern across its 8 ZIP codes and its listed communities, and it shows in the timing of the calls as much as in their content: planned work where the owners live, urgent work where they do not.
One way to hold Newton County in mind is as the local layer of a wider dataset. Above it sits the Joplin metro, with its Census housing profile and its NOAA station at JOPLIN REGIONAL AIRPORT, MO US. At this level sit the county's own numbers — 625 square miles, 2 neighbouring counties, 8 ZIP codes, 3 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.
One call connects you with an independent local heating and cooling professional serving Newton County and the Joplin metro.
