Local homes
Fort Lauderdale housing and HVAC
Single-family homes are mostly concrete block on slabs with air handlers in closets, garages or attics. Condo towers often use water-cooled or air-cooled split systems with air handlers inside each unit, and many buildings have strict rules about equipment replacement.
Summers are long, hot and humid with highs near 90°F and frequent afternoon storms, and winters are warm and dry. Hurricane season brings wind, storm surge and long outages, and king tides flood low streets near the canals.
Permits and seasonal timing in Fort Lauderdale
Broward County and the City of Fort Lauderdale issue mechanical permits, and Florida requires state-certified or registered HVAC contractors. Replacement systems in Florida must meet the state energy code's efficiency minimums.
Salt corrosion
Outdoor units near the ocean and canals corrode quickly, so coated coils, stainless hardware and regular fresh-water rinsing extend their life.
Condo air handler leaks
Clogged condensate lines in condo closets cause leaks into units below, so float switches and drain flushing are essential.
Hurricane damage
Storms can damage rooftop and ground units, and equipment must be secured to meet wind-load requirements.
