Yes, we cross the state line — licensed on both sides

The state line is real — your comfort shouldn't notice it

Living in 29708 means your power may come from a different utility than your neighbor's, your permits go through York County, and half the service companies in your search results quietly don't cross the line. Rally carries both NC and SC mechanical licensing, pulls York County permits routinely, and knows which rebate programs apply on which side — including the utility-specific paperwork that trips up homeowners who just moved from out of state (which, statistically, is most of Fort Mill).

The housing here skews new: Baxter Village's planned streets, Tega Cay's lake slopes, and the Indian Land corridor's fresh subdivisions. That means the builder-grade replacement wave is arriving on schedule — base-efficiency systems from the 2010s boom hitting years 8–12 — and tight-envelope air problems (stuffiness, trapped humidity) that mechanical ventilation solves properly.

Tega Cay's slopes and Baxter's crawlspaces

Tega Cay homes step down to the lake, which puts air handlers in walk-out basements and ducts running odd vertical paths — pressure imbalances between floors are the local specialty, and zoning or damper rebalancing fixes them without new equipment. Baxter Village's neo-traditional builds mostly run conventional crawlspaces, younger than Charlotte's but already showing the duct-leakage pattern; a pressure test at year ten is cheap insurance.
