Homes and wiring in Montgomery

Older homes may have original or patched wiring and small panels, while 1960s and 1970s houses often have panels with no room for new circuits. Air conditioning runs for much of the year, which stresses older circuits and connections.

Weather, seasons and the utility

Montgomery summers are long and hot, with air conditioning running for months, and spring and late-fall storms can bring tornadoes and damaging wind. Lightning surges are a frequent cause of damaged AC control boards and electronics. Winter is usually mild, with occasional ice. Alabama Power serves Montgomery and handles meters, service drops and reconnection. When a storm damages the service mast or meter base on a home, an electrician usually has to repair it before power is restored.
