NOAA storm reports for Broward County show 15 hail days and 39 days with damaging thunderstorm winds over the six years from 2020 to 2025. The largest hail reported was 1.5 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. Broward County also had 7 tornado days in that period. In Sunrise, 19.5% of residents are 65 or older. For older adults, a house with no heat in January or no AC during a heat wave is a medical risk. Mention it when you call, since many companies put those calls first.

Symptoms Worth a Service Call

  • The blower won't stop running
  • The burners light, then shut off a few seconds later
  • Banging, squealing or rattling from the furnace
  • A yellow or flickering flame instead of a steady blue one
  • The thermostat calls for heat and nothing happens

What Moves the Price

  • Whether the part is still under the manufacturer warranty
  • The furnace's age and brand, which affect parts availability
  • Night, weekend or holiday rates
  • Which part failed: a flame sensor costs far less than a control board or blower motor
  • The diagnostic or service call fee

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). A repair usually goes ahead without a permit, but the tech handling refrigerant must hold EPA 608 certification. Ask the company for its Florida license or registration number before the visit.

Before You Hire

  • Ask whether the diagnostic fee comes off the repair bill.
  • Have the model and serial number from the furnace label handy. Parts get ordered faster.
  • Check the filter, the thermostat batteries and the breaker first. Those three cause a surprising number of no-heat calls.
