Homes and wiring in Dayton
Dayton has Victorian and early-1900s homes in the Oregon District, St. Anne's Hill and Dayton View, and post-war homes across Belmont and the suburbs. The 2019 Memorial Day tornadoes, along with cold winters and summer storms, have shaped how many Dayton-area homeowners think about electrical safety and backup power.
Older homes often have knob-and-tube, fuse boxes or small services, and basements hold panels and sump pumps. Storm repairs and renovations frequently uncover outdated wiring.
