Local considerations
Filter changes in Aiken follow a shorter interval than the package suggests during heavy cooling season. A filter that would last three months in mild use can load up in six weeks when the system runs for long stretches.
Hot humid summers with coastal corrosion on condenser coils. That is one reason capacity decisions for Aiken homes are made at installation rather than when the system starts struggling: by then the undersizing has already been costing money.

What should I do before the provider arrives?
