What that means for electrical work in Huntington County
Almost half the county's homes were built before 1960, and about a third before 1940, so old wiring, fuse boxes and small services are common in town. Outside town the picture changes: only about half of homes heat with natural gas, while about one in eight uses propane and a third use electricity. That points to rural homes beyond the gas lines, often with well pumps, electric heat, detached garages and pole barns that all need properly sized feeders and grounding.
- About one in eight homes heats with propane, a sign of how many are outside the gas lines.
- About a third of homes heat with electricity, which adds heavy winter load.
- Nearly eight in ten homes are owner-occupied.
