Owning a Car in Farmington
Farmington sees about 69 days a year at 90°F or hotter. Heat wears a battery out faster than cold does, so a battery that seems fine in spring can quit in August. Get it tested once it is three years old. Heat also works the AC, the cooling fan and the coolant hard, and those jobs pile up in the first hot weeks of the year.
Lows drop to freezing on about 149 nights a year. Cold is when a weak battery finally fails, because a cold engine takes more power to turn over.
Only about 8 inches of rain fall in a year, so it is sun, not water, that ages a car here. Rubber parts, wiper blades and dashboards crack sooner.
The average commute in Farmington is 20 minutes each way, and 84% of workers drive there alone.
