Furnace repair in Florida's winter conditions
Furnaces in Florida may only run a few dozen days a year. That light use is exactly why they fail on the first cold night: dust builds up, sensors corrode and pests nest in vents. Test the furnace before the first forecast freeze.
Electric furnaces and heat pumps with electric backup are common in Florida. Electric furnaces fail at heating elements, sequencers and limit switches rather than burners, and a tripped breaker is worth checking first.
