Thomasville borders High Point to the south, roughly nine miles from our hub, and is one of Davidson's larger towns: about 27,300 residents and 11,250 households on nearly 17 square miles. Nearly three-quarters of its homes (73%) stand on their own lots; the midpoint construction year is 1983.
Your "AC" may also be your heater
About 78% of Thomasville households heat with electricity, versus roughly 15% on utility gas and 3% on fuel oil. In most electric homes, the outdoor box that cools all summer reverses in winter. Replacing it means choosing a new reversing outdoor unit and a compatible indoor section — a mismatched pair costs efficiency in both seasons.
Gas-furnace households take a different route: a cooling-only outdoor condenser plus an evaporator matched to the furnace's width. Households still burning oil often treat a cooling replacement as their exit ramp toward all-electric comfort.
Crawlspaces and attics in early-80s Triad homes
A lot of houses from this era put the indoor unit under the floor or overhead, with flex or metal ducts running through spaces that hit triple digits or stay damp in July. Torn insulation and separated joints there can waste a big slice of the cooling you pay for. Have them inspected whenever the equipment changes.
