Hudson averages July highs near 82°F and 2,800 cooling degree days, which puts AC compressors under load for 4–6 months a year. Oversized or poorly-sized equipment fails early in this duty cycle. Duke Energy Florida's Duke Energy FL Heat Pump Rebate currently offers up to $800 toward a qualifying system, which meaningfully shifts the cost-of-ownership math.
