Heat Pump Installation in Florida

Heat Pump Installation in Florida: what's different
Heat Pump Installation across Florida depends on the climate (IECC climate zones 1–2). Heat pumps fit hot-humid climates well because winters are mild, but the long cooling season means the outdoor unit works most of the year and needs its coil kept clean.
Florida is one of the most demanding air conditioning markets in the country. Systems run nearly year-round, humidity is high, salt air corrodes equipment along the coasts, and hurricane season adds storm and power risks. Heating is a minor load except in North Florida.
Florida licenses air conditioning contractors through the Construction Industry Licensing Board, with Class A, B and C classifications. You can verify a license through the state's DBPR license lookup. Ask any contractor for their license number before work starts, and expect a written price for heat Pump Installation.
FPL serves much of the state, with Duke Energy Florida, TECO (Tampa Electric), JEA, OUC and municipal utilities in other areas.
