Frequently Asked Questions

Are heat pumps good for Florida's climate?
Heat pumps are ideal for Florida's climate. They're extremely efficient in mild to moderate temperatures, which is most of Florida's year. Even during cold snaps, modern heat pumps with inverter technology perform well down to 0°F.
What's the difference between a heat pump and a regular AC?
A heat pump can both heat and cool your home by reversing the refrigeration cycle. A regular AC can only cool. In Florida, a heat pump replaces both your AC and heating system in one unit.
How long do heat pumps last?
Heat pumps typically last 15–20 years with proper maintenance. Florida's year-round use can shorten this to 12–15 years, which is why regular maintenance is important.
What is an inverter heat pump?
An inverter heat pump uses variable-speed compressor technology to precisely match your home's heating and cooling needs. This results in more consistent comfort, lower energy bills, and quieter operation compared to traditional single-speed systems.
