In a normal year, Miramar racks up 122 heating and 4,493 cooling degree days (NOAA 1991-2020 normals). Cooling carries most of the load, which is why compressors and condenser fan motors wear out faster here than in northern cities. Freezing nights are rare here, but a normal year brings 100 days over 90°F.

Miramar Housing Stock
Census figures put the median build year in Miramar at 1996, so a typical house here has about 30 years on it. Plenty of houses from this period still run original 1990s or early-2000s equipment, which is past its expected service life. About 31,000 households here own their home, 69.8% of the occupied total. The median home value is $420,300, and median household income is $86,109. We use both figures to adjust labor and pricing for this page.
Broward County had 15 hail days and 39 days with damaging thunderstorm winds from 2020 through 2025, according to NOAA storm records. 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.
When It Makes Sense
- The house heats with electric baseboard, oil or propane
- Your AC needs replacing, and you'd like cheaper heat at the same time
- Energy bills are higher than you want them to be
What Moves the Price
- Variable-speed (inverter) or single-stage compressor
- Backup heat, either electric strips or a gas furnace (dual-fuel)
- A ducted system or a ductless mini-split
- Electrical panel capacity and wiring
- Size in tons, and whether the unit is cold-climate rated
We raised the national figures about 34% for Miramar using local income, home values and the equipment size this climate needs. Real bids can still come in outside the range, so collect three written quotes.
What the Quote Should Cover
- A load calculation and equipment selection

Florida Permits, Efficiency Rules and Rebates
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). Expect the contractor to pull a mechanical permit for a replacement job in Miramar. If a bidder suggests skipping it, move on. Also ask for a Florida license or registration number and proof of insurance. The federal 25C tax credit ended for equipment installed after December 31, 2025, so incentives now come mostly from utilities and state programs. Check your electric and gas utility's rebate page before you pick equipment.
Before You Hire
- A dual-fuel setup keeps your gas furnace as backup for the coldest nights.
- Make sure the installer sized the system for your heating load, not only cooling.
- Ask your electric utility and state energy office what heat pump rebates are open right now.

Heat Pump Installation Questions from Miramar Homeowners
How much is heat pump installation in Miramar?
Plan on $7,400 to $18,100, with most jobs near $13,300. Equipment efficiency, house size and the condition of the ducts and wiring decide where your quote falls.
When is the best time to schedule heat pump installation in Miramar?
Between late fall and early spring. With 100 days over 90°F, Miramar contractors are booked solid all summer, and off-season jobs are easier to schedule and negotiate.
Do heat pumps work in cold weather?
Yes. Cold-climate heat pumps keep making heat well below 0°F. They lose efficiency as it gets colder, so many homes in cold regions keep backup heat.
How long does a heat pump last?
Usually 12 to 15 years. A heat pump runs year-round, so it needs maintenance twice a year rather than once.
