The Miami, FL Local Code Shield
In Miami-Dade County, any HVAC replacement must strictly adhere to the Florida Building Code, specifically the high-velocity hurricane zone (HVHZ) requirements. A professional must pull a permit through the Miami-Dade Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources to ensure the system is wind-load rated. Verifying that your contractor holds a valid State of Florida Class A or B mechanical license is the only way to ensure your property remains compliant and insurable against storm damage.
