Electrician in Wabash, IN

Wabash, the Wabash County seat west of Huntington along the Wabash River, is known as one of the first electrically lighted cities in the world: in 1880 arc lamps mounted on the courthouse lit up the downtown. The city today is a mix of a historic downtown and older residential streets climbing the hills above the river.

What that means for electrical work in Wabash

Wabash has the oldest housing of any town on this site. Six in ten homes were built before 1960 and half before 1954, and only about one in fourteen has been built since 2000. That means a lot of original or lightly updated wiring: fuse boxes, 60 and 100 amp services, cloth-covered cable, knob and tube in attics and walls, and kitchens running on one or two circuits. Panel upgrades and rewiring are the core of the work here.

  • Six in ten homes were built before 1960, the highest share of any town on this site.
  • Very little new construction: only about 7 percent of homes were built since 2000.
  • About three in four homes heat with natural gas.

How do I know if my Wabash house has knob and tube wiring?

Look in an unfinished attic or basement for single wires running on white ceramic knobs or through ceramic tubes. Don't touch or pull on it. If you see it, or aren't sure, have an electrician inspect it; many insurers also ask about it.
