Households in Florida use 27% more electricity than the national average and pay 13% more than average. Cheap power absorbs most of that: the meter turns faster here, but at 15.17¢ each unit costs less than it does nationally. Cooling explains most of it: Florida runs about 3,400 cooling degree days a year against 700 heating ones, so summer, not winter, sets the bill.

What this means for heating
Florida sees around 5 freezing nights a year. Whether a heat pump beats a furnace here depends on the gap between those two prices above — not on the equipment.
