Driving in Durham
Durham is a large city where most driving is a mix of commuting on busy roads and errands across town. That mix puts steady wear on brakes, transmissions and suspension parts, and labor rates are usually in line with other big metros in the region. Durham is about 121 miles from Charlotte, the largest city in North Carolina on our list.
Four distinct seasons mean a little of everything: summer heat for the air conditioning and cooling system, some winter salt, and enough hills and traffic to keep transmissions and brakes working.
Humid summers, mountain grades in the west and salt air at the coast mean conditions vary a lot depending on where you live.
Homes in Durham
Both heating and cooling get regular use, and heat pumps are common. A plan that covers systems as well as appliances suits most homes in this climate.
