The short version of this page: Perry County runs to 647 square miles, its weather is the record kept at HATTIESBURG CHAIN MUNI AP, MS US — 1,920 heating degree days, 2,479 cooling degree days — and its systems live under a humid pressure. One call to TempReach USA, a referral service rather than an HVAC company, connects you with an independent local HVAC technician serving the county.
Read Perry County's weather the way this page reads it: through the thirty-year normals kept at HATTIESBURG CHAIN MUNI AP, MS US for the Hattiesburg metro. Those normals give the county 2,479 cooling degree days and 1,920 heating degree days a year, 58.91 inches of precipitation, 95.8 days at 90 degrees or above, 34.1 nights at or below freezing, and an average temperature of 66.5 degrees — the fixed background every system in the county works against.
Position sharpens Perry County's moisture problem. The county lies east of the Hattiesburg metro's centre, roughly 16 miles from the metro's centre, and the air that reaches its far edge has crossed the whole Hattiesburg metro before it arrives — carrying the season's humidity into 647 square miles of homes whose systems must wring it out again, through 95.8 hot days a year. Neighbouring ground — Forrest County, Lamar County are among the counties around it — reads the same record; the wringing, house by house, is local.
The county's ground shapes the work in one more way: 647 square miles is a lot of roofs for a service map to hold, and Perry County's homes divide between its listed communities — Richton, Beaumont, New Augusta — and the roads between them. A technician routed here is working a county, not a street: the drive between calls is part of the diary, and the systems at each end of it were fitted in the decades those communities were built.
A ZIP code in Perry County is a small climate-and-housing district of its own. The county's 4 codes — 39423, 39425, 39462, 39476 among them — all read the same normals from HATTIESBURG CHAIN MUNI AP, MS 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.
Read the map around Perry County and a working region appears: Forrest County, Lamar County are the neighbouring names at the head of its list of 2, and together these counties form the ground a local technician actually covers. The county line decides which page describes a home; it does not decide the weather the home's system faces, the decade its street was built in, or the season its diary fills. Those are regional — and the region, on this site, is a set of county pages that link to one another, as the cards below do.
Two numbers organise Perry County's heating and cooling year: 1,920 and 2,479, the heating and cooling degree days in the normals at HATTIESBURG CHAIN MUNI AP, MS US. Whichever runs larger decides the county's dominant pressure — here, a humid one — and with it the season a household should prepare for first. The supporting figures fill in the texture: 66.5 degrees as the year's average temperature, 95.8 hot days, 34.1 freezing nights, 58.91 inches of precipitation. Every paragraph on this page is, in the end, a reading of those six numbers on this county's ground.
Start the county at its named places: Richton, Beaumont, New Augusta head a list of 3 communities recorded in Perry County. The list matters to heating and cooling because communities concentrate the housing — a street of homes built in one decade produces one kind of service diary, the next community's different decade produces another — and because the roads between the named places are part of the working day here. The county page's climate record is shared; the ground it lands on is divided among these names.
The county's position frames its housing as well. Perry County lies east of the Hattiesburg metro's centre, roughly 16 miles out, and the metro's era mix — 35.0% built since 2000, 29.5% between 1980 and 1999, median year 1991 — reads at this distance with a county accent: the shares nearer the centre and the shares at the edge were platted in different decades of the metro's growth. Which band a given Perry County street belongs to is a local fact; that the bands exist, in these proportions, is the Census record this page is built on.
One way to hold Perry County in mind is as the local layer of a wider dataset. Above it sits the Hattiesburg metro, with its Census housing profile and its NOAA station at HATTIESBURG CHAIN MUNI AP, MS US. At this level sit the county's own numbers — 647 square miles, 2 neighbouring counties, 4 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 Perry County and the Hattiesburg metro.
