Older homes and baseline load in Pittsburg County
Many neighborhoods around Pittsburg County include older housing stock with higher infiltration, aging appliances, and “always-on” electronics. Baseline (vampire) load can quietly add tens of dollars per month.
A night-time kW floor is a practical metric: if it stays high when everyone is asleep, start with plug loads, second refrigerators, and poorly sealed ducts before bigger capital projects.
- Measure baseline before buying new equipment
- Unplug or smart-strip entertainment and office gear
- Weather-strip and attic insulation often beat gadget upgrades
