Raleigh facts that shape the job
- NOAA's 30 year normals give Raleigh roughly 3,165 heating degree days annually. Measured at the Raleigh State Univ (NC) station. Cold seasons of that length are why insulating exposed pipes is worth asking about.Source: NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020, station USC00317079, checked 2026-10
- Expect around 57 days a year when Raleigh drops to 32 F or below, going by NOAA normals.Source: NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020, station USC00317079, checked 2026-10
- On cold wave risk, FEMA's National Risk Index puts Wake County, NC at relatively moderate. Only 5 of the 53 other cities we cover sit in counties with the same cold wave rating. A cold wave is when an unheated crawl space or garage pipe is most likely to burst.Source: FEMA National Risk Index (December 2025), Wake County, NC, checked 2026-10
- The 2024 North Carolina codes (Building, Residential, Plumbing, Mechanical, Fuel Gas, Energy) were adopted, but under S.L. 2025-2 they take effect 12 months after State Fire Marshal certification; until then the 2018 code governs and an owner may request the 2024 code as an alternate method.Source: www.ncosfm.gov, checked 2026-10
