Just bought a house in South Florida, and the inspection report says we have heat strips that are "functioning normally", but for the life of me, I can't see them anywhere. Are they behind the walls or under the floors? Inside the A/C registers in each room? Our old house had a natural gas furnace, so this is all new to me. Thanks!

They are probably referring to the electric heating elements in the hvac system. They will be located in the air handler which may be in the attic, basement, or a closet. For more about your hvac system see the heat pump page at www.hvac-for-beginners.com

Being in Florida, you probably have a heat pump. These heat strips are in the duct that enters the house. The fan blows air over them the same as when using the AC.
