Housing stock and where the savings are
Brevard expanded rapidly during the Apollo era, leaving a concentrated band of 1960s and 1970s housing around Cocoa, Rockledge, and Merritt Island. Homes from that period were built well before Florida had meaningful residential energy code, and many still have their original attic insulation depth.

What makes this county different
Constant salt exposure is the defining maintenance factor here. Outdoor condenser coils corrode faster in Brevard than in inland counties, which shortens equipment life and quietly degrades efficiency years before outright failure. Homeowners often run a badly degraded system for several summers without realizing it — replacing it is where the saving actually comes from.
