Before you hire for heating and cooling work in Steward

The U.S. Department of Energy places Lee County in climate zone 5A (cool, humid). Heating carries most of the load here. If you are considering a heat pump, ask whether the model is rated for cold climates and how backup heat works. In a humid climate, ask how the system will control indoor humidity, not just temperature. Whatever the climate, ask for a room-by-room load calculation (ACCA Manual J) instead of matching the size of the old unit.

About 94% of occupied homes in Steward heat with utility gas and 6% with electricity. Many replacement quotes will involve a gas furnace or boiler; if you are thinking about switching to an electric heat pump, ask whether your electrical panel needs an upgrade.
