We were previously from the Philadelphia area and were always steered away from a heat pump up north. We had oil heat for years. In Florida, you hardly ever use your heat pump except on a few mornings when it gets cooler and you need to take the chill out of the house before 11:00am.
A good thing to do, is have your unit serviced on a regular basis. We do twice a year and it cost around $190.00 for the two visits. The a/c unit runs constantly from May thru November so we don't want to take a chance of having that go down in August ... if you know what I mean. Good luck!!!!!
