Furnaces in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Fort Lauderdale presents unique HVAC challenges due to salt air from ocean and Intracoastal. Coastal properties face accelerated corrosion requiring specialized maintenance and corrosion-resistant components. Our technicians understand these local conditions and provide service tailored to Fort Lauderdale's specific climate demands.

Furnaces are less common than heat pumps in South Florida but still found in many homes. Electric furnaces are more popular here than gas furnaces since they're cost-effective for our limited heating needs. Many homeowners are switching to heat pumps that provide both heating and cooling.

Electric furnaces are generally better for South Florida since we use heat infrequently. They cost less to install, require less maintenance, and don't need gas lines. Gas furnaces are more efficient for heavy use but less necessary in our mild climate.

Electric furnace installation typically costs $2,500-$5,000. Gas furnace installation costs $3,000-$7,000 (more if gas lines need to be installed). We provide free consultations with detailed pricing and can also quote heat pump alternatives.

Many South Florida homeowners choose this upgrade. Heat pumps provide both efficient cooling (your main need) and cost-effective heating from one system. They're 2-3X more efficient than furnaces for heating and excellent for cooling. We'll help you compare options.

Furnaces typically last 15-20 years in South Florida, often longer than northern climates since we use them infrequently. With annual maintenance, many furnaces provide reliable service for two decades. Age 15+ is when replacement should be considered.

No, even gas furnaces require electricity to power the blower fan, thermostat, and ignition system. If you need backup heat during outages, consider a whole-home generator. Heat pumps and electric furnaces also require power.
