Miami's hurricane-driven power surges and the HVHZ code regime require specific surge-protective devices and bonded grounding for any coastal property. Saltwater spray corrodes outdoor disconnects and condenser whips on AC compressors within 3–5 years near the ocean, far faster than inland Florida. Permits and Miami-Dade product approval (NOA) are required for service-panel upgrades, generator transfer switches, and EV chargers.
