Local considerations
Housing stock matters as much as climate. Older Gastonia neighbourhoods run ducted split systems through attic space, where summer temperatures make duct leakage expensive. Newer builds lean on packaged units and heat pumps.
Humid summers from the coast to the piedmont, with pollen loading filters heavily in spring. The practical result for Gastonia 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.

- Rinse loose debris off the outdoor coil from the inside out, without a pressure washer.
- Use fans to move air rather than running the system harder, which will not help.

What should I do before the provider arrives?
