Florida's climate is primarily hot and humid, with mild winters. This means chimneys are often used less frequently for heating compared to colder states. However, fireplaces are still used for ambiance and sometimes cooking. The humidity can still contribute to issues like mold or mildew growth within the chimney structure.
