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

  • Keep two feet clear around the outdoor unit, including snow.
  • Book maintenance twice a year, once before summer and once before winter.
  • Light frost on the outdoor unit in winter is normal. A solid block of ice is not.

Heat Pump Repair Questions from Fountainebleau Homeowners

What does heat pump repair cost in Fountainebleau?

Most bills land between $210 and $1,000, including the service call. A typical visit is about $640. Night and weekend calls cost more.

Why is my heat pump blowing cold air?

For a few minutes during a defrost cycle, that's normal. If it keeps going, the usual causes are a stuck reversing valve, low refrigerant or a thermostat set to the wrong mode.

Is it normal for a heat pump to freeze?

A thin layer of frost in winter is normal, and the defrost cycle should clear it. Heavy ice that stays usually means a defrost control or airflow problem.
