Housing stock and where the savings are
Broward grew explosively in the 1970s and 1980s, and much of that housing stock is now at the point where original HVAC systems, water heaters, and windows have been replaced once and are due again. The county also has an unusually high share of low-slung single-story homes with large, sun-exposed roof areas — a favorable profile for both attic insulation work and rooftop solar.
Who provides your electricity
Florida Power & Light serves the county. Broward's combination of high cooling degree days and large per-home roof area means solar and envelope upgrades often pencil out together rather than as separate decisions.
What makes this county different
Because Broward is a coastal wind-borne-debris region, window and door replacements must meet impact standards. That raises project cost relative to inland Florida — which is precisely where $0-down financing changes whether the work happens at all.
