In brief: 850 square miles of North Carolina, a climate read from WILMINGTON INTL AP, NC US's normals, and a balanced pressure as the county's dominant one — 2,326 heating degree days set against 2,133 cooling degree days in an average year. TempReach USA does not do the work itself; it is a referral service, and one call connects you with an independent local HVAC technician serving Brunswick County.
The station for this county's metro is WILMINGTON INTL AP, NC US, and its NOAA 1991-2020 normals are the source of every figure in this section. Precipitation averages 60.15 inches a year; the temperature record averages 64.4 degrees, built from 44.9 days at 90 or above and 37.2 nights at or below freezing; the workload totals 2,326 heating degree days and 2,133 cooling degree days. Brunswick County is read through that record throughout this page.
Brunswick County asks its systems to be good at two jobs. The record at WILMINGTON INTL AP, NC US — heating and cooling degree days in the same order of weight, 60.15 inches of precipitation feeding the humidity between them — means a heat pump or a furnace-and-condenser pair here is never a one-season machine. Across 850 square miles, from Leland outward, the households that fare well are the ones whose service calendar respects both halves: a check before the heat, a check before the cold, and filters in between.
One more county fact belongs in the record: position. Brunswick County sits at 34.038754, -78.227765 on the map — the centroid of a county whose communities spread across 850 square miles of North Carolina. Position decides which end of the metro's weather arrives first and which of its service patterns a household here meets most; the rest of this page is that position, read through the climate record and the metro's data.
Count the coverage from the codes upward: 28420, 28422 and 28451 are the first codes on Brunswick County's list of 12, spread across its 850 square miles in North Carolina. No two of those codes hold quite the same housing — one may be a settled community's streets, the next newer subdivisions, the next open county ground — so the same climate record produces a different run of calls inside each. The full list is printed on this page; the diary is written code by code.
There are 2 counties on Brunswick County's neighbour list, New Hanover County, Pender County among them, and the list is a reminder that a county page is a slice of a continuous map. The slice is worth keeping separate: this county's land area, its ZIP codes and its communities are its own, and its heating and cooling pressure — the balanced profile described above — lands on its own housing. But the slice only makes full sense beside its neighbours, whose pages are linked from this one for exactly that reason.
The precipitation figure earns its place in Brunswick County's record: 60.15 inches a year at WILMINGTON INTL AP, NC US, falling through both the cooling months and the heating ones. Rain loads condensate systems in summer, tests outdoor units and venting in winter, and keeps the ground around the county's 12 ZIP codes cycling between wet and dry in a way that shows up in crawl spaces and condensate lines. Set beside 44.9 hot days and 37.2 freezing nights, it completes the picture of what the county's equipment actually lives in.
Start the county at its named places: Leland, Oak Island, St. James, Boiling Spring Lakes head a list of 4 communities recorded in Brunswick County. The list matters to heating and cooling because communities concentrate the housing — a street of homes built in one decade produces one kind of service diary, the next community's different decade produces another — and because the roads between the named places are part of the working day here. The county page's climate record is shared; the ground it lands on is divided among these names.
The growth figures deserve their own reading in Brunswick County. 43.3% of the Wilmington metro's homes were built since 2000 — the largest or near-largest band in many of its counties — and those homes are now old enough that their first systems are reaching replacement age together, subdivision by subdivision. Set against them, the 23.5% of the metro's stock that predates 1980 is deep into its second and third systems. One county, two replacement waves running at once, and a maintenance diary that has to serve both.
A reader who only had Brunswick County's identifying figures would already know its shape: a county of 850 square miles in North Carolina, 12 ZIP codes, 4 communities on the record, sitting southwest of the Wilmington metro's centre. What the figures cannot say alone is how the ground feels to work — the drives between calls, the mix of decades in the housing, the season that runs taller — and that is what the rest of this page is for, section by section.
City pages carry the metro-wide homework — housing eras, the problem ranking, services in depth. This county sits inside their coverage.

TempReach USA is not an HVAC company. We employ no heating or cooling technicians, we run no service trucks, and we do not carry out HVAC work of any kind. This website and its call center exist for one purpose: to connect homeowners with independent local heating and cooling professionals who serve their area. When you call the number on this site, your call is routed to such a professional. From that point, everything about the job belongs to that professional and to you: the assessment, the work itself, the scheduling, what you are charged, and the terms of any agreement you reach. The professional who takes your job is solely responsible for it. The technician who arrives at your home runs their own business; they are not an employee, agent or subcontractor of TempReach USA. Our part is the information on these pages — assembled from Census Bureau housing data and NOAA climate records for each metro — and the routing of your call. We state this plainly on purpose: you should know exactly who you are hiring before anyone picks up a wrench or a gauge.
One call connects you with an independent local heating and cooling professional serving Brunswick County and the Wilmington metro.
