Miami-Dade County had 12 hail days and 29 days with damaging thunderstorm winds from 2020 through 2025, according to NOAA storm records. 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. Miami-Dade County also had 6 tornado days in that period. In Miami Beach, 18.4% 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.
