Homes and wiring in Little Rock

Little Rock's Quapaw Quarter has some of the oldest homes in Arkansas, and Hillcrest and the Heights are full of early-1900s bungalows, while west Little Rock is mostly newer construction. Tornadoes, ice storms and summer heat drive most electrical work.

Older homes may have knob-and-tube, ungrounded circuits and small services, and many have been renovated several times. Mature trees over overhead lines make storm damage to service drops common.

Weather, seasons and the utility

Little Rock sits in a region with severe spring storms and tornadoes; a tornado on March 31, 2023 damaged hundreds of homes in west and central Little Rock. Winter ice storms bring trees down on lines and cause long outages, and summers are hot and humid. Entergy Arkansas serves Little Rock and handles meters, service drops and reconnection. When a storm damages the service mast or meter base on a home, an electrician usually has to repair it before power can be restored. Mature trees over overhead lines in older neighborhoods increase storm risk.

Local issues electricians see

  • Older wiring in Quapaw Quarter and Hillcrest homes
  • Tornado and storm damage to service equipment
