In brief: 405 square miles of Mississippi, a climate read from MEMPHIS INTL AP, TN US's normals, and a heating pressure as the county's dominant one — 2,875 heating degree days set against 2,314 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 Tate County.
The climate figures on this page are the primary metro's NOAA 1991-2020 normals — climate normals recorded at MEMPHIS INTL AP, TN US, the station for the Memphis metro this county belongs to. An average year there brings 2,875 heating degree days, 2,314 cooling degree days, 54.94 inches of precipitation, 72.1 days at 90 degrees or above and 44.4 nights at or below freezing, around an average temperature of 63.4 degrees.
Divide Tate County's cold by its coverage and the heating diary sharpens: 3 ZIP codes over 405 square miles, 134.9 square miles per code on average, the codes running from 38618 to 38668. A furnace failure in the code nearest the metro reads differently from one at the county's far edge — not in the fault, which is the same worn igniter or tired blower, but in everything around it: the drive, the house's decade, the odds the system has already been replaced once. The cold itself, 2,875 heating degree days of it, is shared; the ground it is answered on is not.
Set the county inside its metro and the picture completes. Tate County answers to the Memphis metro's data — its housing profile, its problem ranking, its climate station — but the county is where that data touches ground: 0 communities, 3 ZIP codes, one county's worth of systems ageing under the record kept at MEMPHIS INTL AP, TN US. This page is that ground-level reading, kept separate from the metro page so the local detail is never averaged away.
3 ZIP codes reach into Tate County's 405 square miles, among them 38618, 38665, 38668 — an average of 134.9 square miles of county ground per code. The codes are more than a mailing grid here: they are how the county's service ground divides in practice, each code holding its own mix of housing eras, its own streets of systems ageing on their own schedules. A call in one code and a call in the next can be the same fault in different decades of house.
Position first: Tate County lies south of the Memphis metro's centre, roughly 24 miles from the metro's centre as the map measures it, with Tipton County, Tunica County, Benton County among the counties around it. Neighbourhood at county scale matters to heating and cooling because systems do not respect the border — the same subdivisions' building decades continue across it, the same cold snaps and heat waves examine both sides in the same night — while each county's page, this one included, keeps the local figures distinct.
The precipitation figure earns its place in Tate County's record: 54.94 inches a year at MEMPHIS INTL AP, TN US, falling through both the cooling months and the heating ones. Rain loads condensate systems in summer, tests outdoor units and venting in winter, and keeps the ground around the county's 3 ZIP codes cycling between wet and dry in a way that shows up in crawl spaces and condensate lines. Set beside 72.1 hot days and 44.4 freezing nights, it completes the picture of what the county's equipment actually lives in.
Hold Tate County up against its own neighbours and the missing place list stops looking like a gap. Tipton County, Tunica County, Benton County are among the 8 counties around it; some of them are lists of named towns, this one is 405 square miles of ground lying south of the Memphis metro's centre, roughly 24 miles out. Its communities exist — people live in them, heat them, cool them — but the record reaches them through the county's ZIP codes rather than through names, and this page follows the record's way of seeing.
Spread the metro's eras over Tate County's own ground and the housing paragraph becomes a map: 405 square miles, 3 ZIP codes at 134.9 square miles per code, and a stock whose largest band was built between 1980 and 1999 (29.4%), whose pre-1980 share runs to 47.1% and whose post-2000 share runs to 23.4%. The percentages are the metro's; the streets they land on are this county's, and a technician driving from one end of the county to the other drives through the bands in sequence.
Put the county's coverage facts in one place and they read like this: 405 square miles of land in Mississippi, 0 listed communities, 3 ZIP codes, 8 neighbouring counties on the record, and a place inside the Memphis metro coverage. No single figure describes the county; the set of them does, and it is the set this page is organised around, from the climate record above to the community and ZIP lists below.
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 Tate County and the Memphis metro.
