FAQs
Do I really need heating in South Florida?
For most of the year, no. But our winters bring enough cool nights that a working heating system matters when you need it. Since most South Florida homes use a heat pump that both cools and heats, keeping that one system in good shape covers you in every season.
What kind of heating system do most South Florida homes use?
The large majority rely on heat pumps. A heat pump is a single system that cools your home in summer and heats it when temperatures drop, which makes it efficient and well-suited to our climate. Some homes also use electric strip heat as a backup on the coldest days.
Why is my heat pump not heating or cooling properly?
Common causes include a dirty filter, low refrigerant, a faulty reversing valve, or a thermostat issue. Because a heat pump runs in both heating and cooling modes, a problem can show up in one and not the other. We’ll diagnose it accurately and explain exactly what’s going on before any work begins.
How often should I service my heating system?
Once a year is a good rule of thumb. Since your heat pump handles both heating and cooling, regular maintenance keeps the whole system efficient and reliable and helps catch small issues before they become bigger ones. Many homeowners pair it with their cooling tune-up.
How long does a heat pump last?
With proper maintenance, most heat pumps last 10 to 15 years in South Florida. Our climate and near-constant use can shorten that, which is why regular service matters. If yours is in that range and needing frequent repairs, it may be worth weighing repair against replacement.
Should I repair or replace my heat pump?
It depends on the age of the system, the cost of the repair, and how often it’s been breaking down. If your unit is relatively new, a repair usually makes sense. If it’s older and repairs are adding up, we’ll give you an honest comparison so you can decide what’s best for your home and budget.
