Local considerations
The outdoor unit in Palatine needs clear air movement to reject heat properly. Two feet of clearance on all sides is the minimum, and overgrown shrubs or a fence placed too close cut into that margin more than most owners realise.
Humid continental summers load cooling systems that also have to survive hard winters, so equipment ages on both ends. The practical result for Palatine residents is that a system running at the margin in mild weather can stop entirely once sustained heat arrives, without any sudden component failure having occurred.
