What's different in Nashville
After the 2010 Cumberland flood and the 2021 Waverly disaster, Nashville takes water seriously: check whether a property sits in the floodplain before quoting HVAC or water-heater placement - elevating equipment is now routine in Madison and Bordeaux. Humidity is the silent killer; AC spends half its runtime dehumidifying, and oversized units that short-cycle leave basements musty. Rapid growth means plenty of 2015+ builder-grade equipment in Antioch and the exurbs hitting its first major repairs right now.
