Florida runs a cooling load essentially year-round, and its generation mix is heavily natural gas, which makes bills unusually sensitive to fuel price swings. Retail service is regulated. Humidity is the hidden cost driver: air conditioners here spend a large share of their runtime removing moisture rather than lowering temperature, so duty cycles stay high even overnight during summer.
