What that means for electrical work in Huntington
Half the homes in Huntington were built before 1954, and nearly four in ten before 1940. Houses that old were wired for a few lights and a radio, not for microwaves, window units and space heaters, so it's common to find fuse boxes or small 60 amp services, ungrounded two-prong outlets, and in some walls original knob and tube wiring that has been extended over the decades. Those are the homes where a panel upgrade, new grounded circuits or a partial rewire makes the biggest difference in safety.
- More than half of Huntington's homes were built before 1960, the most of any town on this site besides Wabash.
- About a third of homes are rented; tenants should report electrical problems to the property owner, who arranges the repair.
- Two-prong outlets in older houses usually mean no ground wire, which matters for computers, surge protectors and bathroom or kitchen safety.

My Huntington house still has a fuse box. Does it need to be replaced?
A working fuse box isn't automatically dangerous, but most were sized for far less than a modern household uses, and repeated blown fuses or oversized fuses are warning signs. An electrician can check the service size and wiring and tell you whether a panel upgrade makes sense. Don't open the fuse box or panel yourself.
