Statewide HVAC context
How Florida’s climate affects comfort
Cooling is essential nearly year-round in Florida, where air conditioners run heavily against heat and intense humidity. Systems must remove large amounts of moisture, not just lower the temperature, which makes humidity control central to comfort. Heating needs are minimal, so equipment, drainage, and airflow are tuned around long, demanding cooling seasons.
