Homes and wiring in Ogden

Ogden grew as a railroad hub, and Historic 25th Street, the Jefferson Avenue area and East Central neighborhoods hold homes from the late 1800s to the 1930s, with mid-century and newer homes on the benches below the Wasatch Mountains. Strong canyon winds, heavy snow and cold winters shape much of the work.

Older homes may have knob-and-tube or small services, and many were converted to apartments. Canyon winds can damage service masts and bring trees down on lines, as in the December 2011 windstorm.

Weather, seasons and the utility

Ogden sits at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains, where strong downslope canyon winds can reach damaging speeds; in December 2011, a windstorm toppled trees and power lines across Weber and Davis counties. Winters bring heavy snow and cold, and summers are hot and dry. Rocky Mountain Power serves Ogden and handles meters, service drops and reconnection.

Local issues electricians see

  • Canyon wind damage to service equipment
  • Old wiring in East Central homes
  • Winter outages and backup heat
