What to check before you buy
Ask for the Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA number for the exact unit being quoted, not the product line. Confirm the design pressure rating suits your elevation, and check the quote includes the buck, fasteners and inspection — that is where cheap quotes hide their gap.
