Is Electrification Worth It in Florida?
Florida doesn't have a heating problem. You have a cooling problem.
AC runs 9 months a year. Your "winter" means maybe 15 nights below 50°F. Most Florida homes don't even have gas lines—you're probably heating with expensive electric resistance or a heat pump already. The question isn't "should I get a heat pump"—it's "should I upgrade to a more efficient one and add solar?"
Yes. Unambiguous yes. Your cooling loads are so high that a good heat pump pays for itself in 4-6 years from AC savings alone. Pair it with solar and you're looking at $2,000+ annual savings. Just make sure you get a SEER2 rating above 16—anything less is leaving money on the table in Florida's climate.
