Florida Heat Pump Math
Heat Pump Savings Calculator
Can a heat pump save money in Florida?
In South Florida, heat pump savings usually come from efficient cooling and occasional efficient heating rather than long winter heating seasons. The strongest comparison is against electric resistance heat, an aging low-efficiency AC, or a system that needs replacement anyway.
