Agreed. I guess my post was not clear enough. A residence is full with equipment that have potential pf issues. Anything with a motor, ballast, or transformer is a candidate. It all comes down to how often you use them. For example in my hose right now, I have a flourescent light on (ballast) the frige is cycling and my lap top is running off it power unit (transformer). All my electronis have a little transformer in them and a couple of motors. Seperatly they do not amount to much. Combined, they could add up. In hot areas, you have fans and AC running all day. Colder areas you have blowers and fuel pumps running. It is dependent on on what you got and how often you use it.

I personally find it hard to believe that a 10% savings is possible on a residence unless you have a mansion or you are just running a bunch of electrical equipment all the time. If residential pf correction was cost effective or profitable, the POCO's would be all over it.
