NOAA storm reports for Miami-Dade County show 12 hail days and 29 days with damaging thunderstorm winds over the six years from 2020 to 2025. The largest hail reported was 1.75 inches across. Hail flattens the thin aluminum fins on condenser coils and cuts airflow. After a big storm, take a look at the outdoor unit; homeowners insurance often covers the damage.

- The diagnostic or service call fee
- Night, weekend or holiday rates
- The furnace's age and brand, which affect parts availability

Florida Licensing and Efficiency Rules
Florida is in the DOE's Southeast region, where new split central air conditioners need at least 14.3 SEER2 (13.8 SEER2 for systems of 45,000 BTU/h and up). Most repairs don't need a permit. Anyone who opens the refrigerant circuit does need EPA Section 608 certification, and in Florida the company should carry a state license or registration. Ask for both.
Before You Hire
- Check the filter, the thermostat batteries and the breaker first. Those three cause a surprising number of no-heat calls.
- Have the model and serial number from the furnace label handy. Parts get ordered faster.
- Ask whether the diagnostic fee comes off the repair bill.
