Homes and wiring in Cheyenne
Cheyenne's Rainsford Historic District holds homes built by cattle barons and merchants in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and the Avenues and older central neighborhoods add early- and mid-1900s houses. Newer subdivisions spread out across the high plains. Strong winds, cold winters and spring hail are the defining weather here.
Historic and early-1900s homes can carry knob-and-tube or patched wiring, while mid-century houses often have small panels. Wind and hail damage service masts, meters and outdoor equipment more than in most cities.
Weather, seasons and the utility
Cheyenne is one of the windiest cities in the country, and gusts strong enough to damage roofs, service masts and outdoor equipment are common, especially in winter and spring. Winters are cold with blowing snow, and late-spring and summer storms bring large hail. Black Hills Energy serves Cheyenne and handles meters, service drops and reconnection. When wind or hail damages the mast or meter base attached to a house, an electrician usually repairs it before power is restored.
