Heat pumps are ideal for South Florida because they provide efficient cooling (our main need) and cost-effective heating from one system. They work efficiently down to 25-40°F, perfect for our mild winters. Electric furnaces are also popular for supplemental heat. Gas furnaces work well if you have natural gas service.

Heating installation costs vary: heat pump systems $4,000-$10,000 (includes cooling), electric furnaces $2,500-$5,000, gas furnaces $3,000-$6,000, ductless mini-split heat pumps $3,000-$8,000, and supplemental heat strips $500-$1,500. We provide free consultations with detailed pricing and financing options.

Yes! While we enjoy warm weather most of the year, winter nights occasionally drop into the 40s or even 30s. A reliable heating system ensures comfort and safety during cold snaps. Many South Florida homes use heat pumps that provide both efficient cooling and heating from one system.

Most heating installations are completed in 6-10 hours, typically in one day. Heat pump installations (which include both heating and cooling) may take slightly longer. We provide clear timelines during your consultation and work efficiently to minimize disruption.

Yes! If you have central AC, we can often add electric heat strips to your air handler for supplemental heating. Alternatively, we can replace your AC-only system with a heat pump that provides both cooling and heating. We'll recommend the most cost-effective solution.

A heat pump is a single system that provides both heating and cooling. In summer it cools like regular AC; in winter it reverses to provide efficient heat. Heat pumps are popular in Florida because they handle our primary cooling needs while offering cost-effective heating for mild winters—all from one efficient system.

Yes, especially for heat pumps which you'll use for cooling 8-10 months per year. High-efficiency heat pumps (16+ SEER for cooling, 9+ HSPF for heating) save 30-50% on energy costs year-round and often qualify for rebates and tax credits that offset the higher upfront cost.

Yes, we handle all necessary permits and coordinate required inspections with local building departments. Permit costs are included in your installation quote. We ensure every installation meets Florida building codes and manufacturer specifications for safety and warranty compliance.

We install premium brands like Carrier, Trane, and Lennox for maximum reliability, plus excellent value brands like Goodman, Rheem, and York. For ductless heating, we recommend Mitsubishi and Daikin. We'll help you select the best brand and model for your needs and budget.

Yes, we offer flexible financing with approved credit. We also help you access manufacturer rebates, utility incentives, and federal tax credits for high-efficiency heating systems. Many customers qualify for significant rebates that reduce the total investment.
