In Florida, spanning from Miami and Port St. Lucie to Cape Coral, Palm Bay, Lakeland, and Clearwater, homeowners experience a subtropical climate with warm winters. While heating needs are less intense than in colder climates, supplemental heat sources are valued for comfort and efficiency during cooler periods.
