Homes and wiring in Huntington
Huntington sits on the Ohio River, with early-1900s homes on the Southside near Ritter Park and in the West End, and older neighborhoods like Guyandotte. A floodwall protects much of the city from the river, and storms and flooding shape much of the electrical work.
Older homes often have small services, ungrounded circuits and some knob-and-tube, and many have basements where panels sit. Renovations commonly uncover wiring from several eras.
Weather, seasons and the utility
Huntington's location on the Ohio River makes flooding a long-standing concern; after the 1937 flood, the city built a floodwall that protects much of downtown. Heavy rain still causes flash flooding along creeks and in low-lying areas. Summers are humid with thunderstorms, and the June 2012 derecho caused long outages across the region. Winters bring snow and ice. Appalachian Power serves Huntington and handles meters, service drops and reconnection after upgrades or storm damage.
Local issues electricians see
