What that means for electrical work in Columbia City
Columbia City is newer than most county seats in the area: half its homes were built after 1985, and more than a quarter since 2000. Those newer homes generally have 200 amp panels and grounded wiring, so the work there is usually adding circuits, outdoor outlets, lighting and EV chargers. About one in three homes still predates 1960, though, and those older houses near downtown have the same fuse box and ungrounded wiring issues as older towns.
- More than a quarter of homes were built since 2000.
- About one in three homes was built before 1960.
- About three in four homes heat with natural gas.

Yes. Columbia City and Whitley County are in the service area. Call (260) 519-1188.
Can my newer Columbia City home handle an EV charger?
Many newer homes with 200 amp panels can, but it depends on the panel's open space and the home's total load. An electrician checks both before installing a dedicated 240 volt circuit for a Level 2 charger.
