Across the Town of Huntington, villages included, the median home was built in 1963, and 43% of homes were built before 1960, 11% before 1940. Older wiring and panels were sized for fewer appliances, so a heat pump, an EV charger or central air can mean a panel or service upgrade first. Utility gas heats 53% of occupied homes here, fuel oil 37% and electricity 6%.

Before you hire in Huntington

• Ask for the license number the work needs here (see who licenses electricians above), and check it before you sign.

• Does the panel or the utility service need an upgrade for what I want to add?
