What that means for electrical work in Whitley County

That means many homes outside the gas lines, along with farm buildings, lake houses and pole barns that need their own feeders and grounding. It also has a large share of newer homes, almost a quarter built since 2000, where EV chargers and added circuits are the common requests.

I heat with propane. Do I still need to think about my electrical service?
Yes. A propane furnace still needs power for its blower and controls, and rural homes often also have a well pump, outbuildings and sometimes a backup generator. An electrician can make sure the service and any generator connection are sized and installed safely.
